BATOK AT WASAY



In this video, the "Batok" is known in Tinglayan, Buscalan which is the most prominent, Whang OD fought back. Before the Spanish came to our country, the Filipinos were known for sculpting, weaving and carving. Found in the caves where the first Filipinos lived. The resistance from the Cordillera from the tribe of "butbut" is also known in their tribe. For women, they get tattoos or tattoos when they reach the right age, and it symbolizes against them to beautify the body, beauty, appearance, clothing and beauty, For the former tribe it was the attractive or body ornament. "Wasay" is also one of the common practices of the tribes in the video, which started in 1955, one of the “pagpapanday” here is not an inborn member of the tribe, it is the man who married a woman with the tribe. The "itak" or "bolo" are used to split bamboos or cut. And it is also used to slaughter animals on occasions such as birthdays. They make the "neto" design by hand, they sew and they sell it. As I ended this last reflection in our subject, we should appreciate on what we have when it comes to art crafts. We should not forget what our ancestors start, and continue to show the beauty of our culture.
