1. Music- This is the art form that appeals to the
sense of hearing. Music is composed by combining
notes into harmony.
Although the Philippines is located in Southeast Asia, its
popular and contemporary musical tradition is Western
because of the Spanish and the American colonization
periods. There were no descriptions of Philippine music
during the precolonization times.
 According to musicologist Corazon Canave- Dioquino,
however, “subsequent reports made by friars, civil servants
and travellers include descriptions of instrumental and vocal
music.” She further identified these instruments as “gongs of
various kinds of size and shapes, drums, flutes of different
types, zithers, lutes, clappers, and buzzers”. As for vocal
music, Canave-Dioquino songs related to planting, harvesting,
fishing; ritual songs to drive away evil spirits or to invoke
blessings from the good spirits; songs to celebrate festive
occasions particularly marriage, birth, victory at war, or the
settling of tribal disputes; mourning songs for the dead;
courting songs; and children’s game songs.

Because Christianity-particularly Catholicism-was

dominant force during the Spanish era, Canave-Dioquino
described Philippine music as “religious music connected to
and outside the catholic lithurgy and a European-inspired
secular music adapted by the Filipinos and reflected in their
folk songs and instrumental music.” During the American
period, she explained the Philippine music changed when
music started to be taught in schools, zarzuela entered the
scene, and Filipinos were exposed to pop culture, which gave
rise to music created by Filipinos using Western pop forms.

2. Dance – This is the art of the human form. The body is

used, mobilized, and choreographed in a specific
time, form, and space.
Dance scholar B. E. S. Villaruz states that the diversity of
Philippine dances, as “manifested in different dynamics
and
forms, grew out of the various contexts and experiences of the
people.” This explains how the movement and choreography
are based on the different environments in the archipelago.

One of the oldest dances in the country is the

Tinikling. The word tinikling is derived from the
movements of the tinikling bird as it wanders on grass stems
and crushes several branches of trees. Dance performers skip
gracefully back and forth while trying to avoid getting their
feet caught by two bamboo poles. Other popular dances in the
country are the following: Binasuan, Carinosa, Pandanggo sa Ilaw,
a and Manlalatik.
The Cariñosa is another well-liked dance in the country.
The word Cariñosa is derived from the Spanish word that
means “the
loving or affectionate one.” This courtship dance is closely
associated with the Panay islands in the Visayas region and is
said to have Hispanic origin.
Mindanao, home to the majority of the Muslims in the
country, is known for its spirituality, royalty, and splendor
which are
 evident in its dances. Muslim dances are characterized by
colorful and elaborate costumes as well as precise and regal
movements. Their most popular dances are the Pangalay,
Burung Talo, and Asik.
3. Theater- This is the art form of performance.
Dramatic texts are portrayed on stage by actors and
actresses and are enhanced by props, lights, and
sounds.

According to theatre and culture scholar Doreen

Fernandez, the Philippine dramatic tradition has its roots in
the rituals and ceremonies of precolonial Filipinos. The way they
performed offerings to their gods and held communal
celebrations were already dramatic performances.

Colonization brought many forms of drama and

theatre: from the religios themed cenaculo and moro-moro,
to the zarzuela,
a traditional Spanish one-act comic opera and the American
entertainment, and the vaudeville, a stage performance
that
consists of various play acts. Throughout the years, from the
English plays of scholastic theatre groups to the street theatre
during the Martial Law period, Filipino dramatic and theatrical
practitioners continue to promote and preserve theatre arts in
the country.

4. Visual Arts- In the Philippines, visual arts can be characterized

as a mixture of western and native cultural influences. When the
Spaniards invaded the country, the friars were the ones who
introduced the western styles of painting and carving in which
the theme was mainly religious. All over the country. Churches
have become informal museums where paintings and statues
abound.
Today, along with inspirations from other countries,
Spanish influence is still apparent in the works of Filipinos.
Some visual artists have been educated and trained abroad,
introducing in the country different movements in the world of
art. From the masterpieces of Juan Luna and Felix
Resurreccion Hidalgo to the modern pieces of BenCab, 21st
century Filipino visual artists have embraced native forms and
themes as well as foreign styles and techniques.

5. Literature – This is the art form of language through

the combined use of words, creating meaning and
experience.
Philippine literature is a rich group of literary works that
has developed along with the country’s history. Long before
the arrival of Western influences, early Filipinos already have
stories to tell to younger generations.
 The Philippines has a rich collection of fables, legends,
and myths, from different regions. The babaylan, the early
healers, used chants to please the supernatural beings or
spirits to bestow good health and fortune in the home and the
fields. When the Spaniards came in the 16th century, they
introduced Christianity to the islands and used literature to
colonize the country. During the time of the Americans,
English was introduced and Filipinos have grown adept in the
usage of the language. Today, contemporary writers are
expanding the horizon of reality and imagination in their works
to reflect that Filipino spirit.
Philippine literature is diverse, although some of the
most famous literary works focus on the country’s postcolonial
heritage, politics, and modern traditions. Filipinos must
recognize and give importance to the people behind the
development of Philippine literature.
6. Film-This art form uses special effects to enhance the
storytelling.
On January 1, 1897, the Philippines experienced its first
movies with these four films: Un home au chapeau (Man
With A Hat), Une scene de danse Japonaise (Scene from a
Japanese Dance), Les Boxers (The Boxers), and La place de
l’opera (Place of L’Opera). The showing of these fils was
done in Salon de Pertierra on Escolta Street. These films
were shown using a Gaumont Chrono-photograph projector
(60 mm). This momentous event was envisioned by a
Spaniard only remembered by the name of Pertierra.
The first movie shot in the country happened in 1898 by
Antonio Ramos using a Lumiere Cinematograph imported
from paris. Ramos shot the following films: Panorama de
Manila (Manila Landscape), Fiesta de Quiapo (Quiapo Fiesta),
Puente de España (Bridge of Spain) and Esceñas Callejearas
(Street Scenes)t be made possible. That is why the country
continues to honor deserving artisofts in the field.
Over the years, since the arrival of cinema in the
country, Filipino artists have thrived and triumphed in the
first-paced world of cinema. Without the brilliance and talents
of the people behind the art, filmmaking will not be made
possible. That is why the country continues to honor
deserving artists in the field of cinema.
7. Architecture – These are structures that meant to be
used as shelter. The art of architecture relies on the
design and purpose of the structure.
 Philippine architecture is unique in that it reflects its
cultural heritage and the demand to adapt to its
environment. Surveying the architectural styles in the country
reveal varieties that range from traditional Filipino dwelling,
the bahay kubo, which is a small one-room hut built using
light woven materials, to modern and stylish architectural
designs that you usually see in urbanized areas.

The architecture of the Philippines reflects its history and

traditions. Churches and mosques across the country, as well
as buildings in the metropolitan and rural areas have risen in
response to the growing demands of the Filipinos. Moreover,
the country is home to the best preserved planned Spanish
colonial town in Asia. During the 300 years of Spanish
colonization, architecture in the country was subjected to
Spanish influences. The friars built several grand churches
all over the country that continue to stand today.

But who are the brilliant minds behind the famous

buildings and grand skycrapers in the country that you love?
There are many Filipino architects who normally do not get the
admiration unlike other artists. Nevertheless, their talents
have immeasurable effect on all of us in the long term.
