language from childhood!
Learn your family the
culture of the roots, so your family understand and respect the roots e.g.
Mano Po!

Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 and
dubbed as the "Eight Wonder of the World," the 2,000-year-old terraces
manifest the engineering skill and ingenuity of the sturdy Ifugao
people, who with bare hands carved this stair-like monument out of the
Cordillera mountainside.
The concern for introducing improvements into urban life
concentrates on infrastructures: the provision of a fresh-water supply,
and the establishing of rail and tram lines.

Oral & Intangible Heritage - The Darangen -
Kapagondoga
Kapagondoga. An excerpt from the Darangen. Chanted by Madame Limpasunang
Dagalangit Lomala of Minitupad. The Darangen's origins are placed around
the 7th century, and the chant narrates historic accounts, myths and
legends, as well as themes of customary law (adat), traditional
politics, love, courtship and manners central to the Maranao. Originally
incorporating indigenous as well as Hindu-Buddhist elements, the content
of the Darangen also came to incorporate several Islamic themes by the
14th century. The epic itself can only be chanted by Onor (master
artists) who were trained in proper technique and etiquette of singing
in the ancient language of the Maranao court, and have committed the
whole epic to memory. The Darangen consists of 17 cycles and around
73,000 verses, and was transcribed into 3 volumes. It has been
designated as one of 43 Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of
Humanity by UNESCO. This film was originally released by the National
Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) of the Philippines in 2005.

Established in the 16th century, Vigan is the
best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its
architecture reflects the comming together of cultural elements from
elsewhere in the Philippines, from China and from Europe, resulting in a
culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and
South-East Asia.

Vigan City
earlier
known as " Ciudad Fernandina" from 1758 to late 19th century, is the
oldest surviving Spanish colonial city in the country
Philippine customs and traditions are re-born in a
community typical of the 18th and 19th century
Philippines. Historical Principalia (noble class) mansions, House of
Stone (Bahay na Bato) and Indio Stilt houses now stand in a village
reminiscent of old Hispanic settlements. These buildings have been
carefully and painstakingly reconstructed from different parts of the
country and rebuilt, “brick by brick”, “plank by plank” with modern
facilities added for comfort and function set within cobblestone paseos
and plaza.

Philippines: Gold of Ancestors part 1-1, 1-2, 2 & 3
Gold found in the Sitio
Magruyong site sheds a light on the
important relationship between Southeast
Asian Srivijayan empire and the
Philippines
April 27, 1981. Sitio Magryong, Surigao del Norte. A gridder operator, Edilberto "Berto" Morales stumbled upon a collection of golden objects while working on an irrigation project. The collection contained bracelets, belts, accessories, bowls and more, all made of gold. These gold objects show the important link between the Philippines and neighboring SE Asia and shows us an important part of the Filipino identity...Experts estimate that the jaw-dropping gold that was unearthed by Berto was created between the 10th and 13th centuries. This means that the jewelry was made some 300 years before Magellan reached the Philippines
In
1981, Berto Morales, a farmer employed as a bulldozer operator in an
irrigation project in Surigao struck gold. He discovered a treasure
trove of gold ornaments while bringing down a hill to collect filling
materials. The discovery, hitherto unknown to the public, is among the
largest collection of Philippine archaeological gold in the country as
well as in the rest of the world.
Philippine Treasures, a special documentary about some of the country's
historical artifacts, most important relics from the Philippines'
literally rich pre-colonial past and many others. The documentary is
hosted by Ms. Mel Tiangco with reporting by Mariz Umali, Cesar
Apolinario, Tina Panganiban-Perez, and John Consulta.
The many different kinds of large and small beads, all of
what they call filigree work here.. is clear evidence that they did
careful, delicate and beautiful work even better in their antiquity than
now since all the ancient gold work is of higher gold content and
craftsmanship than what is being made now... [like the kamagi], a piece
of jewelry of greater value and curiosity than could be expected of a
people apparently so crude and uncivilized (Alcina 1668a, 3:121). As
Alcina said century later, "One who knows how to make them today is hard
to find." Source: Barangay: Sixteenth-Century Philippine Culture and
Society by William Henry Scott
