Attachment:
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
5. 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.
6. 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
7. (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.
