native baskets

  

 Talaingod Manobo tribes make the beautiful hand-made products such as baskets and trays. The designs used in crafting such products have been handed down from generation to generation by the tribal elders.

 Antequera is famously known for its basket weaving industry and is the major source of livelihood. Its basket is of world-class quality. You’ll find different products like lamps, trays, wall decors, and tableware at the Antequera Tourism Information Center being displayed.

The best day to buy your pasalubong and handicrafts is during public sales on Sundays because the vendors gives you a good deal for the products. You can choose from the different sizes, shapes and designs of baskets that just lineup the area. During this day, you’ll also get to see weavers making their wares.
Antequera’s annual festival also focuses on their basket weaving industry. The celebration is held together with the municipality’s foundation day held every March.

headdress

The exchange of art, religious symbols, music, fashion, beliefs, and so forth between peoples (and cultures) has been ongoing for centuries. All ancient cultures (including our own) borrowed from other races through trade and travel such that some have adopted other cultural artifacts completely that people cannot tell anymore which artifacts originated from or how. 

We respectfully believe that adopting the universal meanings attributed to the native headdress—such as the noble characteristics of courage, bravery, hard work, and so forth— by owning an Indian headdress is not necessarily harmful, nor should it be outrageously offensive when we do it in a conscious, thoughtful manner. In fact, we believe that cultural exchange is beneficial in this day and age, and that sharing these symbols or artifacts between cultures can actually lead to interesting conversations and greater mutual understanding… 

flower vase

The venerable clay pot has its roots deep in ancient history. Our ancestors needed vessels to carry water and store food, and found the water-resistant naturally occurring clays in the soil were ideal. Even though today we can buy our vessels at the store and usually carry our water through pipes, clay pots remain beautiful, and are functional works of art and craft.

A vase (/ˈvɑːz/, /ˈveɪs/, or /ˈveɪz/) is an open container, today often used to hold cut flowers. It can be made from a number of materials, such as ceramics, glass, non-rusting metals, such as aluminum, brass, bronze or stainless steel. Even wood has been used to make vases, either by using tree species that naturally resist rot, such as teak, or by applying a protective coating to conventional wood. Vases are often decorated.

Vases generally have a similar shape. Lowest is the foot, a distinguishable base to the piece. The design of the base may be bulbous, flat, carinate, or another shape. Next, is the body, which forms the main portion of the piece. Resting atop the body is the shoulder, where the body curves inward. Then the neck, where the vase is given more height. Lastly, the lip, where the vase flares back out at the top. All these attributes can be seen in the picture at right. Some vases are also given handles.

In the pottery of ancient Greece "vase-painting" is the traditional term covering the famous fine painted pottery, often with many figures in scenes fromGreek mythology. Such pieces may be referred to as vases regardless of their shape; most were in fact used for holding or serving liquids, and many would more naturally be called cups, jugs and so on. Various styles developed around the world in different time periods, such as Chinese ceramics andNative American pottery. In 2003, Grayson Perry won the Turner Prize for his ceramics, typically in vase form.

abaniko

An abaniko (from the Spanish word abanico, meaning fan) is a type of hand-held fan that originated from the Philippines. The abaniko, together with the baro't saya, is a part of a lady's attire. Various ways of using and holding the abaniko may convey different meanings. For example, an open abaniko that covers the chest area is a sign of modesty while rapid fan movements express the lady's displeasure.Abaniko is also the name given to a striking blow, resembling a fanning motion, that is used in the martial art of Eskrima.

A handheld fan is an implement used to induce an airflow for the purpose of cooling or refreshing oneself. Any broad, flat surface waved back-and-forth will create a small airflow and therefore can be considered a rudimentary fan. Generally, purpose-made handheld fans are shaped like a sector of a circle and made of a thin material (such as paper or feathers) mounted on slats which revolve around a pivot so that it can be closed when not in use.

The movement of a handheld fan provides cooling by increasing the airflow over the skin, which in turn increases the evaporation rate of sweat droplets on the skin, and increasing heat convection by displacing the warmer air, produced by body heat, that surrounds the skin. This evaporation has a cooling effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of water. Fans are convenient to carry around, especially folding fans.

Next to the folding fans, the rigid hand screen fan, was also a highly decorative and desired object among the higher classes. Its purpose is different since they are more cumbersome to carry around. They were mostly used to shield the lady's face against the glare of the sun or the fire.

native products 2

          Almost every family in the Philippines owns one or more handicraft products like baskets, brooms, feather dusters, bamboo sofa set, cabinets, and other furniture. Accessories like earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and other clothing apparel which young people today are fond of wearing are also made from native products like beads, shells, seeds, and others.         Today, many Filipinos are engaged in handicraft businesses. Handicraft-making has become a means of livelihood for them, especially now that many handicraft owners are exporting their products to Japan, United states, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other countries around the world.
The Philippines is the second largest world producer of handicrafts, mainly baskets out of indigenous materials. This industry continues to provide a respectable contribution to foreign exchange earning of the country (US$71.9M in 2000) while many handicraft items are also sold on the local market. All together, the sector is providing livelihood to more than 1 million Filipinos. Although the industry has experienced some setbacks over the last ten years, it has kept the respect of the high-end markets in the United States, European Union, and Japan and has only lost a great part of the low-end market to China, our main competitor.
      Despite this, Filipino craftsmen have indigenously overcome scarcity and increasing prices of raw materials by constantly producing new designs for their products. Over the years, Philippine handicrafts have evolved through innovative changes in designs reinforced by exciting choices and combination of indigenous materials. There is, however still ample room for improvement, particularly in remote upland communities with little access to market information, brokering services, capital, and technologies for value addition.

my reason

     A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be. For our purposes we’ll say that a blog is your own website that you are going to update on an ongoing basis. Blog is a short form for the word weblog and the two words are used interchangeably.

    My reason in creating a blog is to help the native products creator here in Tibiao to sell their products.

   My purpose of blogging is to show to the people that there is a product of nature that are very useful and beautiful and to show to them also how creative the nature and people are, here in Tibiao.
