ART
Lesson 1: Characteristics of Arts and Crafts in MIMAROPA and Visayas Group of Islands
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

Objectives:
1. identify the characteristics of the arts and crafts in specific areas in MIMAROPA and Visayas Group of
Islands
2. create an artwork using recyclable materials
3. develop the value of being resourceful in using recyclable materials.

Concept Notes:

MIMAROPA REGION
MIMAROPA is an administrative region consists entirely of island provinces located in the Southwestern
Luzon. The term MIMAROPA is a combination of the names of its constituent provinces namely
Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.
MINDORO

Ambahan is a traditional poetry of the Hanunuo-Mangyans in Mindoro. It is

traditionally written with the point of a knife on a piece of bamboo using the
centuries-old pre-Spanish syllabic script called Surat Mangyan. Once the letters had
been cut, they took a handful of ash and rubbed it into the thinly-carved letters to
make them stand out more clearly.

Basket weaving is the main source of income in Puerto Galera, Mindoro. They
use Nito which refers to the special vine that grows in the wild. They make only
what the earth allows because Nito vine cannot be cultivated or planted,
ensuring the earth-friendly and sustainable nature of their art. Each Nito
woven item is one-of-a-kind, with no single design being exactly the same as
the other. A large basket takes roughly one week to complete.

MARINDUQUE
The Moriones festival in Marinduque is a week-long commemoration of the life
and death of Jesus Christ every Holy week. Morion means masks that are made
of wood or paper-mache (papier-mâché). Some of these woods come from
Dap-dap or Santol tree which are abundant in the province. Mask makers get
their wood mainly in nearby forests. It takes months to carve each mask which
weighs at least two kilograms. The participants use these masks to depict the
Roman soldiers escorting Christ on his way to the Calvary.

ROMBLON
Romblon is known as the "Marble Country" because all the islands comprising the province have marble.
Quarries (the process of getting marbles) on these islands produce raw marble for sculpture and
construction purposes. However, before the discovery of these marbles, Romblon had been famous for
its traditional weaving and basketry. Handicrafts such as beautifully woven mats and bags are major
home industry for their women. 

PALAWAN
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

Tingkop is one of the unique heritage crafts which are original in Palawan. It is a cone-shaped colander
harvest basket which is made of hard-strip bamboo. These baskets are occasionally made of blackened
and natural bamboo, which make the designs stand out. The design is created by an extremely refined
changing of the under-over pattern of the bamboo strips.

The Manunggul jar uncovered in Palawan was a secondary burial jar that has
existed since the late Neolithic Period (895-775 B.C.) in the Philippines. It
served as a container for the dug up remains of the dead. It is largely made
from clay and the upper portion of the jar, as well as the cover, is carved
with curvilinear scroll designs and painted with natural iron or hematite.
There are two human images riding a boat located on top of the jar’s cover.
The first human image, holding an oar with a missing blade, is situated at the
back area. He seems to be controlling the oar (bugsay) rather than paddling the
boat. The second human image, with arms folded across the chest, is situated at the front. The manner
in which the hands of the front figure are folded across the chest is also a widespread practice in the
islands when arranging the corpse. These figures represent two souls on a voyage to the afterlife.

VISAYAS
Also known as the Visayan group of islands, Visayas is a collection of large and small islands in the
central Philippine. The seven main islands are Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Masbate, Negros, Panay, and Samar.

TEXTILE
ILOILO

Iloilo, tagged as the “Textile Capital of the Philippines,” is known in

weaving patadyong, a native tube wrap-around piece of cloth worn by
women as a skirt and is usually paired with kimona. This hablon
(handwoven fabric used for clothes) is distinctly Ilonggo in color and
character. It is often colorful and features geometric designs. It is
traditionally made of locally-made fibers such as piña, abaca, and
cotton.

AKLAN
Piña weaving is an age-old tradition in Aklan, the leading manufacturer of
piña cloth in the country. Known as the Queen of Philippine Fabrics, Piña
cloth is one of the legacies left to us by the Spaniards during their
occupation of our country. This was the prime material used in
making barong tagalogs  and  saya. Making Piña cloth is a careful process,
sometimes it takes months before it transforms into a wearable outfit.

NEGROS ISLAND
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

Sinamay, a term referring to woven abaca, was the traditional clothing material of Filipinos. This textile
is made from abaca twine and indigenous plants similar to banana. Sinamay is of thin-less tissue, but
almost transparent and far more durable than the fabrics made from pineapple fiber. Sinamay materials
are used in making gift boxes, decorative accessories, wall covering, draperies, fashion accessories,
footwear, tabletop accessories and more.

CRAFTS
CAPIZ
Capiz shell comes from a marine mollusk which is abundant in the province
of Capiz. Its outer shells are bleached and dried before being pressed or cut
into different shapes. These shells are form into various crafts products like
curtains, candle holder, chandelier, windows and many more.

CEBU
Cebu is known as the "Furniture capital of Southeast Asia." Most of the
products are made from local and indigenous resources. The materials used
are readily accessible in their environment like coconut, cassava, waste
wood or even used paper. The furniture only uses minimal amount of
synthetic products and other materials for support and structures which
make them eco-friendly and sustainable. Their craftsmanship is a
combination of generations of know-how in handicraft and weaving
processes with a touch of the latest methods of furniture creation.

BOHOL
Antequera, Bohol is famously known for its basket weaving industry.
Antequera baskets, including other native products such as hampers,
home furnishings, wall decors, furniture, bags and fashion accessories,
come in all shapes and sizes. These handicrafts are made out of
whatever native material is on hand, from bamboo, rattan, wicker,
nito, buri, sig-id and other vines. For years, this has been the town’s
main source of income and earned them the title “Basket Capital of
Bohol”.

SAMAR
The banig or mats in Basey, Samar measure around 2×3 meters.
A banig is usually made from “tikog”, a special reed grass which
grows in swampy (wet) areas along rice fields and has solid,
jointless and usually triangular stems. The colorful banigs are
more expensive than simple ones. From sleeping mats, the
weavers have produced other products such as bags, decors,
place mats, furniture matting, and other decoration.

FESTIVALS
ATI-ATIHAN
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

The Filipino Ati-Atihan festival of Kalibo, Aklan is known as ‘the Mother of all Festivals’. It is held every
third Sunday of January in honor of the arrival of the Santo Niño in Cebu. The highlight of the festival is
the street dancing competition of the different groups representing different tribes. They wear colorful
costumes, including the headdresses that are made of abaca fibers, shells, feathers, bamboo, plant
leaves, cogon, and sugar cane flowers. All the participants cover themselves with soot (black powder) to
look like the Ati, natives of Aklan.

MASSKARA FESTIVAL

The Masskara Festival is celebrated every October in Bacolod.

Masskara comes from two words, “mass” meaning crowd, and
“cara” which means face. Bacolod City got the nickname of “The
City of Smiles” because of the smiling faces of the mask. During the
old days, their masks were adorned with locally found materials
like coconut sprouts, colorful betel nuts, violet, yellow or red San
Francisco leaves and annatto, more locally known as atsuete,
serves as natural coloring. Over the years, mask designs at present
have evolved from plain and simple to very decorative.

PINTADOS-KASADYAAN FESTIVAL

The Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival of Leyte is a cultural religious

celebration to honor Santo Niño or the Holy Child. It features the
unique culture and colorful history of the province through dance
presentations. The word “pintado” refers to the body tattoos of the
native warriors. To resemble these tattooed warriors, the dancers’
bodies were decorated with tattoos from head to toe with beautiful
designs and incredible styles.

ARCHITECTURE
Molo church is a famous Spanish-colonial church and heritage site in
the province of Iloilo. It is known for the famous red spires (pyramidal
Elizalde Academy Module 3

structure on the top of the building) that crown its tall bell towers and as “the feminist church” because
of the all-women ensemble of saints represented in 16 statues hanging on the aisle pillars. Built in 1831,
Molo church stands as a reminder of Iloilo’s rich history and a monument for Ilonggo artistry. The church
displays a fusion of Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles. This church is made of coral rocks glued
with a mortar made from egg whites mixed with sand.

The Ruins Mansion is one of the most iconic tourist destinations in

Talisay City, Negros Occidental. It is known as the “Taj Mahal of Negros”
and “Taj Mahal of the Philippines” due to its romantic history. The Ruins
is said to be the remains of the ten bedroom Italianate mansion built by
Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson in memory of his wife, Maria Braga, who
had died during the pregnancy of his 11th child. During World War II,
Filipino guerrillas, employed by the US Armed forces, intentionally set
the building on fire in order to prevent invading Japanese forces from
being able to use the building as a headquarters. The intention was to
burn it to the ground. Despite being burned slowly for several days,
the walls and foundation of the mansion remained stable. Even today,
the design is still evidently elegant and the color changes from white to
gray and orange to red as the sunset touches the structure.

The Baclayon church of Bohol is considered to be one of the oldest

churches in the Philippines. According to history, some 200 native forced
laborers constructed the church from coral stones. They used bamboo
to move and lift the stones in position, and used the white of a million
eggs as to cement them together.

Concept Notes:

The History of Athletics

Track and field athletics, commonly known as athletics or track and field, is a collection of sports events
that involve running, throwing and jumping. The name "athletics" is derived from the Greek word
"athlos" meaning "contest".

Dating back to the Ancient Greeks, athletics was the only competition to be held in the first Olympic
Games which took place in Athens in 776 BC.
At that time, the single athletic event was known as the “stade,‟ a foot race which covered the length of
the Athenian Olympic stadium.

In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were staged. Although initially of limited appeal, the Olympics
captured the imagination of athletes and grew steadily, making track and field an international sport for
the first time. In 1913, the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) was formed by
representatives from 16 countries. The IAAF was charged with establishing standard rules for the sport,
approving world records, and ensuring that the amateur code was adhered to; it continues to carry out
these duties today.

Track Events in Athletics

Track events can be divided into three main categories: events that require running on a track over a
defined distance, running events with obstacles placed on the track, and relay events. While track
events generally refer to events held within the stadium, other distance events that require running on
roads have been included in the roster.
Track events are generally not complicated - you run from point A to point B in the quickest time
possible. However, those not familiar with athletics may wonder what the difference is between the
events, other than the distance involved.
Here’s a general information of the basic things you should know about track events.

Types of Track Events

1. Sprints refer to instant bursts of speed over short distances.

Equipment:
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

Events: starting block starting gun spike shoes

100-meter Sprint
200-meter Sprint
400-meter Sprint

2. Middle Distance are events longer than sprints and up to 3000 meters. They are frequently referred
to as the hardest of the running events as they require both endurance and strength.

Middle Distance Events:

800m
1500m
3000m

3. Long Distance are events longer than middle distance. That is to say, it requires the runner to process
oxygen in low-intensity activity over a long period of time.

Long Distance Events:

10,000m
20,000m
30,000m

4. Steeplechase is an obstacle race derived from horse racing. Both men and women race over the most
common distance - 3000m - though the steeplechase for women has lower barriers. Steeplechase
usually comprises of a water jump as well. Failure to pass over or intentionally knocking over the hurdles
will result in disqualification.
Equipment:

steeple chase barrier

Steeplechase barrier height
Format of a Steeplechase Race:
3000meters steeplechase race has 28 barriers and seven water jumps
2000meters steeplechase race has 18 barriers and 5 water jumps.
1500meters steeplechase race has 13 barriers and 3 water jumps.
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

There’s a difference when it comes to the height of the barriers in the steeplechase for men and
women. The barrier heights for men are 0.914m (36in) and the barrier heights for women are 0.762m
(30in).

5. Hurdles are run as sprints. Runners jump over ten hurdles in the specified distance. The size of
the hurdles, number of hurdles, and distance may differ, although the rules given are major official
international regulations.
Equipment:

hurdle

Hurdle Events:
100-meter (women)
110-meter (men)
400-meter (both)

6. Marathon is a long distance race that is not run on a track, except often at the start and finish. It takes
place through designated urban areas.
21.95 kilometers
42.195 kilometers

7. Relays: Four runners make up a relay team. Each runner must hand off the baton to the next runner
within a certain zone, usually marked visibly on the track. Failure to pass the baton properly, or losing
the baton may result in disqualification.

Equipment:

baton

B. Jumping Events
1. Long Jump is a jumping event in which the
player runs down a strip (the same sort of
rubberized surface as running tracks), and
jumps as far as possible.
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

2. Triple Jump is similar to the long jump in which the

player runs down the track and performs a hop, step and
then jump into the sand pit.

3. Pole Vault is a jumping event in which the player sprints down the
track, plants one end of the pole in the metal box, and throws himself
over a horizontal bar (without knocking it to the ground), releases the
pole, and falls onto the landing mattress.

Pole Vault Terminology

Here are some terminologies used in pole vault.

 Bar - The crossbar that is suspended above the ground where athletes have to vault across
 Pit - The mats used for landing in pole vault.
 Pole - Usually made of fiber glass and stiffer on one side to allow the pole to bend after planting
it to the ground.

4. High Jump is a jumping event in which the player does

a short run-up, leaps from one foot over a horizontal bar,
and falls onto a cushioned landing area.
Elizalde Academy Module 3
MAPEH 7
Teacher: Mr. Bonnie S. Cuencia

Previously, different high jumpers used different methods, but at

the1968 Mexico City Olympic Games, an athlete called Dick Fosbury pioneered the backwards and head-
first jump, and captured the gold. This technique is the standard for all high jumpers today and dubbed
the Fosbury
Flop in his honour.
