play03:00

play03:02

Philippine reading a tradition with many

play03:05

variations many faces many unique

play03:09

manifestations traditions we would say

play03:13

are just indicated by the presence of

play03:18

spinder wars in the Philippines now this

play03:23

were unearthed in Cagayan and this was

play03:28

over dated 2600 to 2100 BC when it comes

play03:37

to technique it's possible that this

play03:38

must have been just plain weaving

play03:41

techniques now but when we talk about

play03:45

material evidence of finished textile in

play03:50

the Philippines we would refer to the

play03:52

Bunton cloth not this Bunton cloth or

play03:56

pieces of this are made of linen when we

play04:01

say linen this come from the bust fibers

play04:04

now that would include probably even

play04:07

banana fibers because the sheath of the

play04:12

banana fibers can be considered as linen

play04:14

so in that month on cloth we say Bunton

play04:18

because if this were found in an island

play04:21

known as Bunton off from blown and these

play04:27

are dated 14 to 15 centuries those would

play04:31

be the material evidences of early

play04:34

practice in the Philippines

play04:35

but for Southeast Asia there are lots of

play04:39

weaving traditions

play04:41

threats are laid out to form a matrix of

play04:44

warp and weft though we like to think

play04:47

that it is the hands of the Weaver that

play04:50

creates a textile the weight of her body

play04:52

and the pressure from the lower back is

play04:55

opposed against the threads is a vital

play04:57

part of the technology thus the name

play05:01

backstrap Lou

play05:03

there are two important wooden bars not

play05:07

the one that is pressed close to the to

play05:10

the Weaver's body that one is that cloth

play05:13

beam and that's where you have the

play05:16

rolled in there would be the woven cloth

play05:19

not the woven part of the textile at the

play05:23

other end

play05:24

no would be another bar this time it's

play05:28

not split into two but just a wooden bar

play05:31

of the same thickness as the one here

play05:33

close to the body of the winner and it's

play05:36

Veronica hangs on again on one

play05:38

characteristic of backstrap weaving is

play05:41

that to open and close the warp

play05:44

it's the torso of the Weaver that moves

play05:47

when the tours of the Weaver moves

play05:48

forward nella loosen up in wall so it's

play05:51

easier for the head else to be raised

play05:54

and for the Weaver to insert the beater

play05:57

and then vodka once inserted push back

play06:00

on poor Sonya and therefore Pamela

play06:03

marina man for beating in the web

play06:06

[Music]

play06:08

shared by many indigenous peoples in

play06:11

Southeast Asia the backstrap loom is a

play06:14

source of many iconic textiles groups

play06:18

that make use and have mastered this and

play06:21

have come up with really exquisite

play06:23

textiles using simply backstrap would be

play06:26

all over cordillera de fuga as the bondo

play06:29

the Konkan i the haedong and even the

play06:34

Kalinga though it may look simple and

play06:40

even primitive the range of designs

play06:43

produced from this loom by so many

play06:46

Weaver's from all over the world is

play06:49

proof of its Universal a shared

play06:53

technology that binds many Weaver's from

play06:55

many different cultures all over the

play06:58

world just as it binds the weavers of

play07:01

the cordelia mentally Anglo similarity

play07:05

in terms of the use of some kind of

play07:09

ground with young airing bone design or

play07:12

sometime like parent element forms you

play07:16

could see that in special cloths of the

play07:18

Kalinga

play07:19

mainly for the upper class and then also

play07:22

for specially lock cloth for the katana

play07:25

they are so fond of coming up with that

play07:28

ground witness pair entire moon forms

play07:31

thickly woven in that sense there is a

play07:34

similarity and then also some in the

play07:38

upper Kalinga region the color scheme

play07:41

would be similar to the color scheme of

play07:44

the Kadam red white little bit of elo

play07:49

[Music]

play07:51

aside from the all-over pattern and the

play07:55

ground with another characteristic

play07:57

textile of the Kalinga would be that of

play08:01

lower Kalinga area like in the bargain

play08:04

you can learn it's they have green red

play08:07

green and yellow for the wraparound

play08:10

skirt instead of weaving the

play08:13

do the embroidery you seems thick yarn

play08:16

to come up with mountains and river

play08:18

design

play08:26

one characteristic of Kedah

play08:29

which is only seen among the gada the

play08:33

use of tiny white beads this are all put

play08:38

together just like bundle or a bunch and

play08:41

then this are meant to decorate the end

play08:45

part of their edges of the belt or seam

play08:49

of their blouse or their shirt because

play08:52

both men and women use upper garments

play08:56

but I Wasi for the women and cotton for

play09:00

the men not the upper garments and on

play09:03

the edge of these upper garments there

play09:07

would be several tiny beads attached to

play09:11

those hem and edges of the upper garment

play09:15

they also use Perrin red and yellow tiny

play09:19

pom-poms not attached to their woven

play09:23

garments those would be the

play09:25

characteristic features of gang which

play09:28

cannot be seen in other Cordillera

play09:31

cultures there seem to be a kind of

play09:34

giving valuation to all this trade beads

play09:38

we don't see them produced in the

play09:40

Philippines

play09:40

some of them Mediterranean type of beads

play09:43

now so this are given so much importance

play09:47

in Gaudin dressing up

play10:06

the yacon of Basilan are renowned for

play10:09

their dense tightly woven fabrics each

play10:12

with a different name and motif

play10:14

associated with each specific garment

play10:17

and its usage in museums and private

play10:21

collections all over the world there are

play10:23

separate panhead cloths hold pride of

play10:26

place that the akan Weaver's are still

play10:28

producing exquisite textiles today

play10:31

is a tribute to a resilience and skill

play10:34

the tasks withstood armed conflict and

play10:37

civil unrest

play10:46

the young Weaver's made cinnamon both

play10:50

the men and the women wear trousers and

play10:54

the cinnamon is the greatest warped

play10:57

count all over Philippine textile

play11:00

weaving traditions it has the most

play11:02

number of warp in a two inch cloth of

play11:06

that cinnamon there would be not just

play11:10

one hundred warp yarns but would be 300

play11:14

or 500 warp yarns not such that for one

play11:18

foot similar manner cloth probably one

play11:21

would have more than 1,000 warp yarn so

play11:24

they have the finest and a sexy weaving

play11:30

and in their single lumen they make

play11:33

supplementary warp design patterns like

play11:35

hourglass knot or what we call try

play11:39

smarter design and thiamine form or what

play11:42

we call the matamata designing rice

play11:46

grain design well the women other than

play11:48

wearing trousers they also over the

play11:51

trousers would be a wraparound skirt

play11:53

which they call the pin and to pan that

play11:56

wraparound skirt exhibits flower and

play11:59

leaf designs now but a little bigger

play12:02

than the pennant open hourglass and

play12:06

diamonds now so but this time instead of

play12:10

warp splintery warp design technique it

play12:14

is supplementary web design technique

play12:17

being used here the most beautiful of

play12:20

all would be their Secotan on their head

play12:25

cloth that one it's done in

play12:28

Supplementary web technique but it's

play12:31

called pick up design technique and it's

play12:35

closely similar to what we could call

play12:37

tapestry weaving in that supporting and

play12:40

head cloth there would be a central

play12:42

design is Olivia a triangular square the

play12:46

whole composition would be symmetrical

play12:49

balance and symmetrically

play12:52

generally this would all be geometric

play12:54

forms

play12:55

play14:02

and maybe one foot in width now

play14:05

sometimes longer ones would be used as

play14:08

shoals now so the design technique used

play14:11

there would be very similar to the

play14:14

design technique of the Lao people and

play14:17

the weavers have shifted to the box type

play15:32

blue or the history books the very first

play15:37

pair the loom the whole thing is framed

play15:39

with hard wood now and it is square or

play15:44

box frame de Lumina but the important

play15:48

part of that would be the treble or the

play15:51

pedals now so instead of the body the

play15:55

Widder moving forward and backwards to

play16:00

open and close the warp sheds it would

play16:03

be the travels or the pedals that would

play16:07

bite by pushing them down up and down

play16:11

somehow there would be the opening and

play16:14

closing of the valves aren't sneh the

play16:17

Weaver as they say would have more

backswing our visit to the weavers of

play16:50

pena rubia in abre reveals that despite

play16:53

the shift in technology the old designs

play16:55

are still faithfully replicated

play17:00

the thingy enough Abra are famous for

play17:03

their large-scale blankets the Pinelli

play17:06

and the Napa and be Nicole motives have

play17:09

become almost iconic as these have been

play17:12

appropriated by fashion and lifestyle

play17:14

designers but it is a weeding tradition

play17:19

that has much to do with ritual

play17:20

spiritual belief and above all the use

play17:24

of natural organic material

play17:28

the revival of indigo and other natural

play19:31

our living history indigo it was one of

play19:36

the important exports to the west to

play19:41

Europe and even to Mexico until the

play19:46

later half of the 19th century in

play19:50

production yes guru as a commercial or a

play19:53

cash crop mature it boom Abajo but the

play19:57

local rivers continued to use it

play19:59

especially that somehow as I said para

play20:03

there is a kind of value given to

play20:07

natural deep blue hue para to them

play20:11

usually find women or men wearing the

play20:14

deep indigo this would be people higher

play20:19

social class it had a value somehow

play20:24

expressive of the higher social status

play20:28

play20:45

Magdalena de Mayo continues to weave and

play20:48

more importantly teach young leaders

play20:51

[Music]

play20:54

she spent a good part of nine decades

play20:57

preserving and enriching the tradition

play21:00

of weaving in a bed for her life's work

play21:04

Nana Madalena was awarded the highest

play21:07

distinction

play21:08

given 12 rock artists she was proclaimed

play21:19

in a museum housing her handiwork have

play21:22

since been open to further preserve the

play21:24

tradition she has worked so hard to keep

play21:27

alive

play21:41

[Music]

play21:46

[Applause]

play21:49

[Music]

play21:51

so far we've only explored the world of

play21:54

weavers who work with cotton but what

play21:56

about Weaver's who work with other

play21:58

fibers like in a clan in antique and

play22:01

other areas in Western Visayas and in

play22:03

low neon and parts of region one in the

play22:06

Cordillera in many areas of the country

play22:07

we find weavers adept at working with

play22:10

silk with banana and even with Pia Mia

play22:13

we don't have any record at all how we

play22:17

got to get those son say it once nah but

play22:22

it's possible that since we have very

play22:25

active trading relations with China it's

play22:30

possible that we got the silk forms from

play22:33

East Asia through train

play22:40

[Music]

play22:44

it is the finest of all fibers it's

play22:51

really even finer than that of an strand

play22:56

of hair it's very distinctly Philippine

play22:58

because the fiber can be gathered only

play23:02

from a type of pineapple which is what

play23:06

the pineapple plant which grows only in

play23:09

the Philippines and in particular this

play23:12

is the red Bisaya variety the pineapple

play23:17

the Ibaka and cotton those are the top

play23:21

three fibers used in the Philippines

play23:27

[Applause]

play23:32

Filipino Weaver uses materials coming

play23:36

from the natural environment and its

play23:40

materials like grass and then leaves

play23:44

thread from Pina banana fiber cinema

play23:49

Ibaka and all of these are regarded as

play23:53

sacred why because they contain a spirit

play23:57

we regard these things as part of our

play24:03

everyday life we commune with them and

play24:07

they're not just dead objects that's why

play24:10

when we were trying to get inspiration

play24:17

from nature the inspiration is from a

play24:21

spiritual world the Moga Tivoli's

play24:23

there's a belief in the spirit or an

play24:27

actual spirits applying designs for the

play24:30

Weaver

play24:30

that's why do you have because of dream

play24:32

rivers and meat is very important in

play24:37

this regard simply because the moment

play24:40

you suffer lies as addition it means

play24:44

that it's a very important part of

play24:46

everyday life you have to consider the

play24:48

weaving as a whole and we preserve the

play24:53

original nature of these questions as

play24:56

much as possible this is how we were

play24:59

really traditional weaving material that

play25:03

we find among our indigenous peoples our

play25:06

traditional peoples with the onset of

play25:08

the Industrial Revolution well we have

play25:12

now come to regard traditional weaving

play25:18

patterns materials assess well an input

play25:23

for contemporary design this is the

play25:25

reason why many of our rivers have

play25:30

become simply mass producers of patterns

play25:35

that they repeat and repeat and repeat

play25:39

[Music]

play25:54

[Music]

play26:02

with such a rich tradition in a

play26:05

continuing heritage of weaving

play26:07

expressive fibers into even more

play26:10

expressive textiles how can we support

play26:13

our Weaver's in my own capacity I've

play26:16

always tried to see how the products can

play26:19

be viable more marketable sources of

play26:22

income for the local community through

play26:24

cooperatives through trade fairs and

play26:27

expositions where they get more exposure

play26:29

through grants and financial and

play26:32

technical assistance that ensure that

play26:34

Weaver's get the right material that

play26:37

they go on weaving that they pass on the

play26:40

knowledge for me there's is such a vital

play26:44

craft that says so much about the

play26:47

strength and the skill of a Filipina and

play26:50

in her efforts to ensure the continuance

play26:52

of weaving by patronizing the work and

play26:55

learning more about the tradition are we

play26:57

not also weeding a stronger national

play27:00

fabric a fabric that contains all the

play27:04

beauty and inspiration that come with

play27:07

dial our knowledge our pride
