What I Need to Know
Hi there, our learning companion! Well done! You were able to get here
and accomplish the tasks in the previous module. Before we continue on our
learning expedition, let’s take some time to check how you have been doing.
How has your journey of exploration and discovery of the arts and crafts of
Mindanao been so far?
The previous module took you to an artistic journey where you were able
to see for yourself the creative attires, textiles, crafts, accessories, and
ornaments in Mindanao, all ingeniously created as a testimony for their love of
the arts, and their customs, and tradition. Not only that, in a deeper sense, you
were also able to discover how they created their art and craft, and how their
beliefs fused together to create a unique blend of spirituality and creativity which
are manifested in their arts and crafts.
Mindanao which is considered as the second largest island in the Philippine
archipelago is home to people with rich culture and tradition. This is very evident
in how people in Mindanao have maintained its culture and beliefs despite the
sprout of civilization. Furthermore, it is a dwelling place for a number of native
ethnic groups that inhabit the island and make its culture even richer. There are
big differences in the practices and beliefs of its inhabitants compared to that of
the people from Luzon and Visayas. Particularly, some of its ethnic groups did not
succumb to the modern ways of living. They kept and observed their customs
that helped preserve their rich culture and traditions.
As your journey continues, you will get a chance to explore the different
works of art apart from the artistic pieces that were previously presented to you.
You will see the beauty that the architecture, sculpture, and functional art forms
that the island of Mindanao has in store for a traveler like you who is on this
culture trip. You will also be acquainted with the names and proper terms used
for these wonderful pieces of art and how these art works look like. You had
better pack up your stuff and get ready for a unique voyage of learning about
visual arts.
Learning Objectives

What’s New
Before you go further, let us see how much you have learned so far in your
journey about the arts and crafts of Mindanao through this stopover. During this
layover, you have to accomplish different tasks that will help you grapple with
the arts and crafts of Mindanao particularly their architecture, sculpture, and
functional art forms.
You will also get acquainted with the terminologies that are of great
importance to your understanding of the characteristics of these wonderfully
created works of art. Here is a set of stopover activities you will hopefully find
enjoyable and informative.
ACTIVITY 1.1 – Find the Route!
Hi, to our dear travel companion! This is where your journey officially
begins. Before you start this expedition, take note of some important reminders
so that you will not get lost.
As an expeditioner, your first goal is to know the path you have to take. In
order for you to surmount this maze of learning and continue with the expedition,
you need to find the right route that will lead you to the maze’s exit. You just
have to focus on your goal for you to be able to achieve it.
That is how you should take every learning expedition like this. When you
do that, you will eventually reach your destination.
Directions: Find the correct route that will lead you to the way out of the
maze. As you traverse the maze, collect the words that you come across on your
way to the exit by listing each one of them in your activity notebook. Afterwards,
look for the meaning of each word and write it on your answer sheet.
5
You are on the right track now! That is the way! You were able to find the
correct route and gather some important words at the same time. At this point,
take some time to look at the words you collected and contemplate on the
following questions:
1. What did you notice about the words? What do you think are the similarities of
the words that you listed?
2. Which among the words have you encountered before, and how did you learn
about them? Which of them have you not encountered yet?
Activity 1.2 – Trivia Master
Directions: Below are culture trivia along with jumbled letters on the other side
which are still centered on the arts and crafts Mindanao has to offer.
Answer each of the trivia by arranging the jumbled letters on the
other side to form meaningful words. Write your answers in your
activity notebook.

Activity 1.3 – A TRIP TO THE MUSEUM
This time, you will be visiting a museum in Mindanao. However, there is a

problem with the arrangement and organization of the artifacts inside the
museum. The museum needs your help in sorting out the artifacts according to
the category they belong to.
Directions: Below is a pool of arts and crafts of Mindanao. You need to sort them
out through the sorting boxes below the word box as soon as
possible before the museum opens and becomes ready for the
tourists. Put the words inside the box that corresponds to their
proper category, namely, architecture, metal crafts, or functional art
forms.

Before you proceed to the next destination, take a few moments to ponder
on these questions to keep track of the treasures you have unlocked.
1. What helped you in classifying the arts and crafts?

2. What is the impact of the three categories to you as an individual? What is
the impact of these to the people of Mindanao? Why did you say so?
Go ahead and pat yourself on the back if you were able to accomplish all
the stopover tasks! You just rocked them all! We hope that these have helped
you with getting acquainted with the things related to the topic in the upcoming
stations of this expedition.
What is It
Arts and Crafts of MINDANAO: Architecture, Metal Crafts, and

Functional Art Forms
Going through all the basics is important for you to continue this module. In
this section, you will be able to get more acquainted with the basic concepts on
the arts and crafts of Mindanao, particularly its architecture, metal crafts, and
functional art forms. You will come to know how these works of art look like, how
they were created, and the distinguishing characteristics of each significant
piece.
With that said, here are the important concepts that you need to learn as
to enable yourself in taking part in the upcoming activities. Let us go over the
concepts. You are encouraged to engage with the discussions as you read
through them.
ARCHITECTURE OF MINDANAO
Philippine architecture has changed much from the period prior to and
during the Spanish conquests in the country. This is manifested in a number of
buildings that celebrate the culture and tradition of early Filipinos before and
during the Hispanic period.
The architecture in Mindanao was greatly influenced by the beliefs and

tradition of those who inhabit the island. The different ethnic groups have chosen
to maintain their indigenous beliefs and traditions and decided not to be
converted to Islam or Christianity, the two religious groups proliferating during
9
that period. Most of the architecture of Mindanao is influenced by their belief
system, which is animism. Animism is a belief system that is characterized by
worshipping nature. This means that they believed that ancestral spirits dwell in
plants and inanimate objects. This belief system of the early Filipinos in Mindanao
influenced the architecture as seen in the motifs and other embellishments.
Below are some structures that show the unique architectural design and accents
of Mindanao.
Torogan
It is the ancestral house for Maranao

royalties. This is where the datu dwells along with
his wives and children. A long time ago, the people
believed that the datu’s house should be the
largest within the sultanate because the torogan
symbolizes the leader’s power, rank, prestige, and
wealth.
Plywood sticks and dried coconut leaves

were used to cover the walls of the house, making
it look more ancestral with its brownish or neutral
tone color. This house is also well-known for its notable designs intricately
engraved on the walls regarded as the flowing geometries of the Maranao
design system called okir. This can be seen on the exterior of the walls that
appears as lines of partitions of the house.
In fact, since it has become the central part of the Maranao’s customs,
traditions, arts and culture, it is recognized for the beauty and artistry it holds up
to this day.
Panolong
It is an ornament of the Maranao’s torogan

and a portion which resembles a wing spreading
out from the long pieces of heavy, often squared
woods. This ornament is characterized by okir
carvings.
Considered as the most distinct part of the torogan, it features a serpent design
that adorns the front, while the sides use the pako okir or fern pattern.
Badjao Houses
This is the dwelling place of the so-called

Sama-Bajau or the “Sea Gypsies” of the Sulu
Sea. Badjao houses are built on stilts two meters
above the water surface. This supports fishing
and hunting -the main source of livelihood of
these nomads or Badjao.
10
Badjao houses, more often than not, are constructed out of wood drifted
by the sea and
coming from either demolished or destroyed buildings from the neighboring
provinces, islands, and coasts.
The use of drift woods in neutral tone colors from light gray to creamy tan
which were properly assembled to serve as the walls adds up to the visual
interest that these hold. The woods assembled and used to build the houses
created a pattern of parallel lines seen vertically on the walls. The roof was
thatched with dried nipa leaves that added texture in the overall look of the
houses.
The Grand Mosque of Cotabato
This Grand Mosque in Cotabato, otherwise

known as the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Masjid,
is the largest mosque in the Philippines. Situated
near the idle banks of Tamontaka River, this
mosque was founded by the Philippine
Government and the Sultan of Brunei, for whom
the Masjid was named.
Talking about its design, this mosque was

decorated with four tall spires or minarets in the
major corners of the main chamber. Aside from
providing a visual focal point, these minarets are
generally considered to call the people to prayer.
Covering most of its exterior, a combination of
white and gold adds up to its magnificent look.
There are also domes which are crowned with
crescents that make them look more majestic. The
Islamic designs were also fused in its magical appearance which can be found
anywhere in the mosque such as walls, doors, and floors.
Since it was funded by the government and the Sultan of Brunei, the
mosque is generally similar to the mosques in Middle East which is evident in the
designs found interior of the building. The mosque occupies 5000 square meters
of land. Its minarets are 141 feet tall and are topped with pilot’s lights to avoid
aerial accidents at night.
Fort Pilar of Zamboanga
th
Fort Pilar is a 17 century military defense
fortress built by the Spanish colonial government in
Zamboanga City. The fort has also become a
landmark of Zamboanga. This historical fort is also
called Real Fuerza de Nuestro Señora del Pilar de
Zaragoza, and was built in 1635 by a Jesuit priest,
Fr. Melchor de Vera. It remains sturdy up to this
11
day, and holds a great cultural significance as part of the city’s historical
heritage.
This fort exudes stability from its bastion walls to it shrine. The walls were
built with the use of sturdy rocks with dark color palette which signifies the
stability and historical value. Whereas the outdoor church that attracts tourists
was built with finest red bricks which breaks the dark color tone of the bastion
walls, laying more emphasis on the shrine due to its longevity and structural
integrity. The arch that becomes one of the highlights of the shrine etched on the
walls was accented with flowing natural shapes and a radial pattern which
resembles the rays of the sun.
Monastery of the Transfiguration of

Bukidnon
The Monastery of Transfiguration is a

pyramid-like structure that was designed by the
National Artist for Architecture, Leandro Locsin.
This is located atop of the hill of Malaybalay,
Bukidnon. This monastery was founded by Fr.
Abbot Eduardo Africa.
The monastery may appear as a typical building surrounded by trees from

afar. However, its characteristic pyramid structure sets this monastery apart from
the other buildings. The walls are made of glass and adorned slanting columns
surrounding the entire building which also serves as a buttress that holds the
monastery together. The architecture creates a light and airy space inside the
monastery that is conducive for worship.
Santo Rosario Church of Camiguin
Santo Rosario Church is situated at the

town of Sagay in Camiguin Island. A notable
information about this church is that coral stones
were used to build it in 1882. Since the
infrastructure was weak, they had it retrofitted or
installed with steel bars using modern construction
techniques. Apart from the fact that it was
originally built using coral stones, you can also find
driftwood chandeliers and altar inside. The
materials used to build this church were local
materials, particularly woven bamboo
skin, emphasized the local traditions of the native people.
The church may have been weathered through time, but it has still retained
its beautiful form. The base of the church was built with coral stones, which
provides valuable historical information about the construction materials used a
12
hundred years ago. The upper portion of the building highlights the steel bars
which were added after it had been retrofitted. Exploring the interior portion, you
can behold the driftwoods hanging as chandeliers, an altar made of sawali and
brick, bamboo used as posts, and many other wood and stone native elements.
METAL CRAFTS OF MINDANAO
The metal crafts of Mindanao are not limited to the intricate metal teapot
designs. Other ethnolinguistic groups, such as the T’boli of South Cotabato, are
also known for their artistic skills in brass casting. Most of the art works took
inspiration from the historical circumstances present in their locality during that
time.
Like the T’boli, the Maranao also boasts artistic works that do not just
emulate the rich culture of the people living around Lake Lanao, but also prove
how their beliefs and traditions are fused with spirituality and artistry.
Take some time to go over each of the significant works of M a r a n a

o , t h e ir me t a l c r af t s:
Rarub-A-Klong is an armor made of brass plates with carabao horn and

interlocking ringlets. This work of art served as a protective armor of Moro
warriors which is the counterpart of the vest used by Spanish soldiers.
K endi is an heir l oom metal teapot or k ettle with inlay u sed for
hot water, coffee, or tea.
Gador is decorative metal container used as a flower vase of

center piece in Maranao homes. It is usually made of brass or
aluminum with geometric or organic designs (i.e. flowers,
petals, ferns, etc.). This artform also became an everyday
object or functional art form.
13
FUNCTIONAL ART FORMS
Mindanao has very distinctive works of art that

represent the rich culture and history of the places
where these pieces were made. From captivating
architecture, artistic metal crafts, beautifully woven
fabric, intricate wood carvings, to decorative
metalwork, pre-colonial Filipinos just proved that their
artistry and craftsmanship are exceptionally notable
and deserving of the acclaim they have received. Aside
from being cultural exemplars, these functional pieces
are also used as everyday objects by the people of
Mindanao use.
Maitum Jar
It is an earthen vessel used for secondary burial from Sarangani province

and was discovered in Ayub Cave, Pinol, Maitum, Sarangani in 1991. A secondary
burial is characterized by the intensive use of ossuaries, ceramic, pottery, or
stone receptacles for depositing disarticulated bones of the dead during pre-
colonial years. This jar was believed to be artistically significant not only because
it mirrors the love of arts the early Filipinos had in the past, but also because it
holds fundamental concepts with historical and anthropological importance.
What makes the maitum jar interesting is the fact that all of the jars found
in the cave resemble human figures showing a variety of facial expressions such
as sadness, contentment, and joy. Maitum jar differs from the other jars found
around the archipelago for it has a lid that resembles a human head with ears.
This jar also includes the arms, navel, nipples, and genitalia as part of its design.
However, it should be noted that these artifacts are not created for indecent
exposure nor were they made to stimulate any lascivious acts. The jars were
designed using such details because they strived to thoroughly portray the
appearances of the bodies placed inside using facial expressions, other body
parts, earrings, tattoos, and ornaments.
Kampilan
The Kampilan is a single-edged long sword that Mindanao fighters used and is the
weapon of choice by Maranao warriors. The Maranao kampilan is characterized by
a hand-carved ivory hilt or handle that resembles the head of a naga or serpent. It
also has a round ornament that represents the eye of a snake. Human or animal
hair are also used to adorn the hilt. Other ethnic groups use crocodile head for the
hilt.
14
Batige
Batige is awooden top inlaid with mother of pearl or

silver. Both young and adult males played this outdoors
for recreation. Those made of softwood are used for
leisure while the hardwood variety are used for
competitions.
Balangay
The balangay of Butuan, is a large wooden

boat used by pre- colonial Filipinos to traverse the
seas for trade and migration. It is also known as
the oldest Pre-Hispanic watercraft found in the
Philippines. Apart from trade and migration, it was
also used for cargo, and raiding purposes which
only proved that Butuan had a central role to play
in the trade industry.
From somewhere between 320-1250 CE, balangay boats were discovered

in Butuan City that date back to the to1th to 13 th century. These watercrafts
could hold 60 to 90 people and were estimated to measure fifteen meters (15 m)
long and three to four meters (3-4 m) wide. They were propelled by a sail of buri
or nipa fiber or padding, which were the local materials used during that time.
The most interesting part about this finely built boat is the fact that it achieves
functionality that only comes with a well-developed design.
Vinta
The vinta is a sailboat introduced by the

Badjao people who live in Sulu archipelago. It is
characterized by a colorful sail with geometric
patterns called vinta. This iconic boat of Sulu
archipelago and Zamboanga Peninsula has
become one of the attractions in the community.
Unlike the other traditional watercrafts in
Mindanao, this boat is small and not meant to be
used for long ocean travel. This is mainly used for
livelihood activities like fishing, diving for pearls,
and transportation around the archipelago. Other ethnic groups also use the
Vinta such as Tausug and Yakan.
Well done! Look at how far you have come on this journey! So far,
you have acquired all the important concepts about the arts and
crafts of Mindanao. You also became acquainted with each artistic
15
artifact and its characteristics. At this point, let us enrich your learning
experience through the succeeding activities that we hope you will enjoy

Wow! You are on the right track in this expedition! Now, let us analyze
your work by answering the following questions:
1. Were you able to observe the details and characteristics of the arts and crafts
of Mindanao, particularly the architecture, meta crafts, and functional art
forms? What are the distinguishing characteristics of works you saw in this
module?
2. Is there a work of art from Mindanao, based on the concepts you went over
earlier, that is similar to an art or craft from your community? If yes, what
artwork in your community is similar to Mindanao’s artistic works? What are
their similarities?
16
What’s More
You’ve gone so far in this journey of artistic exploration and discovery. It is

good to think that after taking part in the previous activities and dealing with the
concepts, you can now apply what you learned by accomplishing the succeeding
activities to enrich your learning experience!
Activity 3.1 –Seal the Sail!
Can you help the nomads “seal the sail” by filling in the sails of the boat with the
needed information? Each fabric of the sail is labeled with three things that are
needed before they can travel.
Directions: Draw a boat that looks like what is illustrated below. On the first sail
on the left side, you have to write what makes balangay uniquely
different from the vinta. On the third sail on the right side, you must
do the same for the vinta. Then, on the sail at the center, you have to
write the similarities of the two boats. Write the answers in your
activity notebook.
Balangay
17
That was awesome! Thanks for helping the nomad who just wanted to
traverse the sea! We hope that you were able to learn something from this
activity and realize the similarities and unique characteristics of functional art
forms like balangay and vinta are in the lives of the ethnic groups.
Before you proceed with the succeeding parts of this module, kindly
answer the following questions based on the previous activity:
1. What is the distinguishing characteristic of a balangay? What is the

distinguishing characteristic of the vinta?
2. How does balangay differ from vinta? What are their similarities? Why do you
think they have these similarities?
3. Do you know, by any chance, an everyday object or functional art form in your
community which is similar to that of a balangay or vinta? If yes, what is it?
Why do you say they are similar? How do people in your community use and
preserve traditional, creative everyday objects?
ACTIVITY 3.2 – Jarring Experience
In the previous sections of this module, you were able to discover the
beauty of functional arts and crafts. These decorative objects are embedded in
the daily routine of the people. At this point, let us take continue to enrich your
learning about the arts and crafts of Mindanao by accomplishing this activity.
Directions: Compare and contrast Manunggul Jar (burial jar) of Palawan,

Maitum Jar (burial jar) of Mindanao, and a modern burial jar
inspired by western culture. Fill in the Venn diagram with correct
information regarding the similarities and differences between and

Mindanao is home to a number of very distinctive art works that mirror its
rich culture and history. Pre-colonial Filipinos have proven that their artistry is
infused with their love of for their unique culture and traditions. Due to their fine
craftsmanship, some traditional designs, processes, and pieces are still used up
to this day. These functional arts are essentially a part of the Mindanao people’s
daily life.
Do the following activities to show what you can do to raise awareness and
develop appreciation for these artistic objects.
ACTIVITY 4.1 Oath to Culture-Care

you have been to a maze, took a museum trip, and were able to surmount
some puzzling tasks. You even sorted out some museum artifacts just right
before the opening time. At this point, take a few moments to contemplate
on what you can do to show appreciation and advocacy for the preservation
of these artifacts by writing your Oath to Culture – Care on your activity
notebook. You may write your oath by presenting a list of what you can do
as a student to raise awareness and advocate for preservation. Your Oath
may contain the practical decisions or practical applications of what you
learned previously.
That was great! I know from the start that you will come up with that desire
to promote and help preserve our cultural artifacts. This time, try to create your
