I. INTRODUCTION BASKETRY IN THE PHILIPPINES
A. Ubiquity and significance of basketry
Basketry - the art and crafts of making interwoven objects usually containers ,from flexible vegetable, fibers such as twigs, grasses, bamboo or from
plastic or other synthetic materials. The container made by this method are called baskets.
Basket Weaving - is the process of weaving or sewing pliable materials into three- dimensional artifacts.
Ex: baskets, mats, mosh bags, furniture
Miss Chavez: Can anyone give me another example of basket weaving except the one I mentioned
(Discussion)
Philippines baskets are constructed from bamboo and rattan and often a combination of the two.
Plaiting and twining produces a wide range of sizes and forms. Filipinos use baskets for transportation and farm work, food service and storage,
fishing and trapping, clothing, and to carry personal items.
Storage
Household items are secured in baskets. Clothing and blankets are kept fresh and dry in lidded containers. A tampipi is a common basket type for
storing clothing and blankets.
Food Gathering & Preparation
Winnowing trays are used to separate rice from its hull. Serving trays present rice and other foods for consumption. The baskets shown here are
from the Bontoc Igorot people of the mountain area of Luzon Island.
Fish traps are placed in swift flowing streams and simpler baskets are used to carry crops from the field to home or market.
Personal Baskets
Bontoc men carry tobacco and other personal belongings in small bags shaped to fit beneath the arm (upper). Often compartmentalized, these bags
include a "secret" compartment where valuables can be stored. Meals are transported in tightly-woven lunchboxes called topil. Jewelry and other
personal items are stored in small, covered baskets of subtle design.
Transportation
Unique to northern Luzon Island is the inabuntan or hunter's pack. It is constructed to be rain-resistant, providing a dry storage space for hunting
gear and game.
Hats
Bamboo and rattan hats vary in shape, size, and design, but all function to protect the wearer from sun and rain.
Miss Chavez: So what are those uses of basketry? Anyone
Miss Chavez: ( Explanation overall)

B. Diversity of basketry Traditions
Traditional Philippine basketry, a unique art form, has been a significant part of daily life in the Philippines, particularly in the Luzon Cordillera region.
This region, located between the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, has 2,000 inhabited islands. Basketry, a gender-specific craft, includes
portable lunch containers, woven jars, and containers for harvesting, transporting, and serving food. The art form is influenced by the Ifugao, Bontoc,
Tinguian, Ibaloi, Kalinga, and Kankanay peoples. Despite the decline of traditional baskets since the late 1950s, many traditional basket forms
continue to thrive due to tourists' interest in Philippine crafts. The exhibition showcases a selection of twentieth-century Philippine basketry from the
Luzon Cordillera, showcasing its beauty and craftsmanship.
• Traditional handicrafts like the Pala’wan Indigenous people’s tingkep woven baskets are deeply tied to local ecosystems; experts increasingly
understand that supporting traditional practices can aid conservation by creating incentives for keeping forests intact.
PALAWAN, Philippines — On a fine day at the onset of the dry season, Sublito Tiblak wakes up very early to the sounds of birds. They’re perched
on trees surrounding his home in Kamantian, an upland village tucked in the Mount Mantalingahan Protected Landscape in the southern part of the
Philippines’ Palawan province.
Mastering Fibre Technology
According to the study, which was published in the journal
PLOS One, researchers analyzed stone tools found in Tabon Caves, situated in the Palawan Province of the western Philippines. Dubbed as the
country's "cradle of civilization", Tabon Caves is a site of archaeological importance due to the number of prehistoric human remains found there.
The tools showed microscopic evidence of wear and tear associated with using plant fibers for purposes such as for rope-making and basket
weaving. These signs included a brush stroke-type pattern of striations, micro-polish and micro-scars on the surface of the tools, according to a
report by Cosmos Magazine.
Stone Tools and the Age of Bamboo
In contrast to the standardized toolkits found among prehistoric groups in Africa and Europe, stone tools in Southeast Asia exhibited a diverse range
of sizes and shapes. This variation may be attributed to environmental adaptations that sparked an "Age of Bamboo." Just as the Stone Age and
Bronze Age were defined by their predominant use of stone and bronze respectively, it is probable the Traditional Philippine basketry, a unique art
form, has been a significant part of daily life in the Philippines, particularly in the Luzon Cordillera region. This region, located between the South
China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, has 2,000 inhabited islands. Basketry, a gender-specific craft, includes portable lunch containers, woven jars, and
containers for harvesting, transporting, and serving food. The art form is influenced by the Ifugao, Bontoc, Tinguian, Ibaloi, Kalinga, and Kankanay
peoples. Despite the decline of traditional baskets since the late 1950s, many traditional basket forms continue to thrive due to tourists' interest in
Philippine crafts. The exhibition showcases a selection of twentieth-century Philippine basketry from the Luzon Cordillera, showcasing its beauty and
craftsmanship.
Pushing Back the Timeline
The authors of the study indicate that the discovery significantly extends the timeline of fiber technology in Southeast Asia.
“The technique used nowadays to process plant fibers in the region was already known 39,000 years ago. Are we in [the] presence of a very long-
lasting tradition?” Xhauflair concludes and enquires. “Or was this technique discovered at several points in time and abandoned?”
Miss Chavez: Before I go to the next slide I would ask everyone, to you, why is it important to preserve traditional Basketry in one sentence.
Classmates: (Someone answer)
Miss Chavez: Alright! Thank you for your answer.

C. Importance of Preserving Basketry Traditional
Preserving traditional basketry is crucial for various reasons. These baskets hold significant cultural and historical value, representing artistic
expression, cultural identity, and the preservation of ancient techniques. They serve as vessels for various purposes, carrying stories of ancestral
traditions and craftsmanship. Traditional basket weaving is a skill passed down through generations, promoting continuity and preserving traditional
knowledge. Additionally, these baskets reflect the diverse narratives of different communities, showcasing intricate designs that encapsulate
traditions, beliefs, and values.
Teacher/Sharer Erica: “Alright! For us to deepen our understanding about basketry we have here teacher jeanny to discuss further. “
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:

Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Alright, so were going to tackle about Common Basket Weaving Techniques, Materials, Traditional Tools and Equipment for Basketry in the
Philippines.”
“Before I’ll show you the Common Traditional Tools and Equipment for Basket Weaving can somebody give me an example of tools or equipment
that is necessary when making a Basket.”
Students: Sharing their knowledge.
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“You all got it right!”
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“So, these are the necessary tools in basketry”
We must have Good, Strong Scissors.It is essential for cutting and trimming materials to the desired size and shape, particularly for finer details or
intricate designs in the woven baskets.
Next, we must have
Sharp knives - It is used for cutting and shaping raw materials such as bamboo, rattan, or palm leaves. It helps in preparing the materials for
weaving and in trimming excess fibers during the weaving process.
Pliers - work great for chipping off ends and it is also useful for gripping and manipulating materials during weaving, especially when working with
stiff or thick fibers. Pliers help in holding and pulling fibers tightly, ensuring a neat and uniform weave.
Awl or Needle: A pointed tool used for making holes in materials, facilitating weaving and stitching processes. It helps in threading fibers through
the weaving material and in securing them in place.
Work Surface: A flat, stable surface or workbench provides a space for weaving and assembling basketry items. It serves as a comfortable and
convenient workspace for the weaver to work on their projects.
Weaving Tools: These can include needles, hooks, or weaving aids designed to assist in the weaving process and achieve specific patterns or
designs. Weaving tools help in creating intricate patterns and textures in the woven baskets.
Dyeing Equipment (Optional): If dyeing materials is part of the basket-making process, equipment such as pots, brushes, and drying racks may be
required. This allows for the customization of colors and designs in the woven baskets.
These traditional tools and equipment are often simple yet versatile, allowing skilled artisans to create beautifully crafted woven baskets that reflect
the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines.
(Students keeps listening)
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Next we have the Common Materials for Basket Weaving”
Here in the Philippines, basket weaving relies on a variety of natural materials that are abundant in the local environment. Some common materials
used for basket weaving in the Philippines include:
Rattan: Rattan is a climbing vine native to Southeast Asia, including the Philippines. It is widely used for basket weaving due to its flexibility,
strength, and durability. Rattan strips are often soaked in water to make them more pliable before weaving.
Bamboo: Bamboo is another versatile material used extensively in basket weaving. It is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for weaving intricate
patterns and designs. Bamboo strips are typically split into thinner strips and woven together to create baskets of various shapes and sizes.
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny: “If you want to read, please raise your hand”
Student:
Nito: Nito is a vine-like plant found in the Philippines, particularly in mountainous regions. It is valued for its fine texture and natural color, making it a
popular choice for weaving intricate patterns in baskets and other woven products.
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny: “Okay thank you for that.”
Buri Palm: The leaves of the buri palm tree are commonly used for weaving in the Philippines. Buri palm leaves are long and sturdy, making them
suitable for creating durable baskets and mats. The natural color variations in buri palm leaves add to the aesthetic appeal of woven products.
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Alright guys, did somebody here see or knows Anahaw? Can you please describe to us?”
Student: Share his/her insight about “Anahaw”
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Exactly! The leaves of the anahaw palm tree are large and fan-shaped, making them ideal for weaving into baskets, hats, and other woven items.
Anahaw leaves are known for their durability and resistance to moisture, making them suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor settings.”
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Next, we have Pandan: Pandan leaves are long and narrow with a distinctive fragrance. They are often used for weaving mats, baskets, and other
household items in the Philippines. Pandan leaves can be dyed to create vibrant colors or left natural for a more rustic look.”
“If you have any clarifications about the Common Materials for Basket Weaving please raise your hand, if none, kindly react a heart”
(Students responding)
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Next we have the Common Basket Weaving Techniques”
In the Philippines, basket weaving encompasses a variety of traditional techniques passed down through generations. Some common basket
weaving techniques practiced in the Philippines include:
Coiling: This technique involves coiling flexible materials such as rattan, bamboo, or palm leaves in a spiral pattern to create the base of the basket.
Strands are wrapped around each other and stitched together using thinner fibers or threads.
Twining: Twining is a method where two sets of strands, typically made of rattan or other natural fibers, are interwoven in an alternating pattern to
form the structure of the basket. This technique creates a sturdy and flexible weave commonly used for larger baskets and containers.
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny: “Who can read the next one?”
Student:
“Plaiting: Plaiting, also known as braiding, involves weaving together multiple strands of material to create a flat or three-dimensional pattern.
Different types of plaits, such as simple over-under patterns or more intricate designs, can be used to produce various textures and shapes in woven
items.”
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny: “Okay thank you for that.”
Wicker Weaving: Wicker weaving involves weaving flexible materials, often rattan or bamboo, in an over-under pattern to create a tight and durable
weave. This technique is commonly used for furniture, baskets, and other woven products.
Coiling and Stitching: Coiling and stitching is a combination technique where coiled materials form the base of the basket, and thinner fibers or
threads are used to stitch the coils together. This method allows for intricate designs and embellishments to be added to the basket as it is
constructed.
Split Weaving: Split weaving involves splitting the material, typically bamboo or rattan, into thin strips and weaving them together to create intricate
patterns and designs. This technique requires skill and precision to achieve fine details in the woven object.
These are just a few of the many basket weaving techniques practiced in the Philippines, each with its own unique characteristics and applications.
These techniques not only serve practical purposes but also reflect the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Filipino craftsmanship.
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Did you know that there are 3 Different Methods on how to weave a Basket?”
“So the 3 different methods to weave a basket are; Randing, Pairing and Waling.”
Randing
Randing is a basic weaving technique used in basket making. You simply go under one stake, over the next, under the next, and repeat. To ensure
the pattern turns out correctly, you need an odd number of stakes. If you have an even number, you will need to use two weavers and alternate
between them. Randing is often used for large areas of weaving and can be reinforced with pairing rows for strength.
Pairing
This is a weaving method that uses two weavers together, twisting around each other.
Waling
A very strong weaving method that is used at intervals to control the shape of the basket.
It is often used at the top, just under the border.
It is also almost always used at the beginning of the sides of a basket after the base is finished.
The stakes are set up (when used this way, it is called upsetting). Three rods are used
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“Now, I will show you the indigenous people who use indigenous materials in making baskets.”
“When we hear the term indigenous or indigenous people, what does it mean? Or what comes on your mind when you hear these terms?”
“Yes?(Called a student)”
Student: (Student Answer)
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny: “That is exactly right, thank you!”
“So Indigenous people is known for making handy crafts from worldly known natural materials, which are the rattan, abaca, nito, tikog, buri, bamboo
and more.”
Rattan - The Igorot peoples who make such baskets are ethnic highlanders from the Philippines Cordillera region on Luzon island (upper north east
Philippines)
Abaca - The Bagobo Tagabawa tribe originates from Davao del Sur. For hundreds of years, Bagobo Tagabawa creates Inabal, a weaving process
that is hand-woven out of abaca fiber.
Nito - It takes certain skill and patience to weave and work on a nito basket, uniquely designed by the Iraya-Mangyans of Puerto Galera, Oriental
Mindoro
Tikog - In Basey, Samar such as the tribes of Mamanwa, the plant material which is mainly used to weaves baskets and mats were both buri and
tikog.
Pandan - The work of the hands binds the Tagbanua women of Palawan province one generation to another. Traditionally, girls, as young as 12, are
taught the indigenous craft of weaving pandan, a tropical plant that grows abundantly in the island village of Malawig.
Trimming native species of bamboo (binsag), palm (buldung and busnig), and vine (gehid), - the Pala’wan people’s traditional handcrafted basket “
tingkep”, whose designs and uses are reflective of their deep relationship with the forest.
Teacher/Sharer Jeanny:
“And that will be for my topic which is Indigenous and Industrial materials for making a basket. Any clarifications or concerns?”
“Alright! For our next sharer we have here Teacher/Sharer Jessa."
Teacher/Sharer Jessa:
“Thank you, teacher Jeanny! For today we will also be discussing the Notable Indigenous Basket Weaving in the Philippines. Are you ready? “
Students: " Yes, we are ready! “
