Performing arts
• Kalaleng or Tongali(nose flute)

• -A kalaleng is a nose flute made from bamboo from the Philippines


• -Usually around two feet in length a kalaleng has holes cut in the side, to
be stopped by the fingers producing the notes. The player closes one
nostril with a bit of cotton, then forces the air from the other into a small
hole cut in the end of the tube. This instrument is found mostly in the
northern Philippines and is popular with all the native mountain
population of the area. It is a usually decorated with etched patterns.
• -The instrument is popular with men and is often used in courting.
Graphic and Plastic Art
• Palu-Palo Festival
• -This is a cultural presentation of the municipality of Basco, Batanes,
showcasing their ethnic group’’s rugged yet storied existence.

• -Palu-palo means sticks or arnis that were used by the native Ivatans to
fight the forces of the colonizers such as Spaniards and the Dutch.

• -The natives wear the traditional suit made of indigenous materials from
the bark of trees which were flattened.
Ornament
• Now that most fabrics are mass produced with
imported threads from overseas, textiles
carefully handwoven with Philippine cotton
are becoming increasingly difficult to find. One
of these textiles is the abel of the Ilocos region
in northern Philippines. Abel comes in many
designs, but one of the most recognizable
patterns is the binakul.
textile And Fiber Art
• Along the highway running north from Tuguegarao City lies a
small riverside town that continues to shape its unique
heritage. Like many municipalities across the province of
Cagayan, Iguig centers around an impressive Spanish church
which – unlike others built from adobe or coral stone
elsewhere in the country – is otherwise constructed from red
bricks.
Pottery
• Sippatal, ethnic ornament from the Isneg people, North
Luzon, Philippines. Circa mid 20th century or earlier.
Composed of cut shell pieces and tiny beads, the sippatal is
unique to the Isneg. More of a chest, or pectoral, ornament
than a necklace, the sippatal is the showpiece of Isneg festive
dress and is displayed only for special occasions.
