Attire
- Mangyan of Mindoro: Men wear a G-string (loincloth) or bahag and a jacket-style shirt called linggon. The linggon is embroidered with pakudos, a design of simple vertical and horizontal lines that form a cross. The name comes from the Spanish word “cruz” (cross). Women also wear the linggon, a red cloth around the chest, and a white skirt.
- Palawan tribes (Tagbanua, Batak, Palawano, Palaweño, Tau’t Bato): Men wear a G-string. Their traditional clothing comes from the pounded bark of trees, especially salugin. Women wear sarongs or tapis skirts.
- Tumandok (Panay Bukidnon or Suludnon): Women wear a red blouse called sinumbrahan na pula. Men wear a red and black costume with panubok designs.
- Visayan women wear the patadyong, a colorful wrap-around skirt with linear, geometric, or checkered designs. It is paired with a kimona made from pineapple fiber and a handkerchief called tubao worn over the right shoulder.
Fabrics and tapestries
| Fabric | Where | Key characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Ramit | Mindoro (Buhid and Hanunuo Mangyan) | Indigo-dyed homespun cotton with intricate geometric patterns |
| Banton cloth | Banton, Romblon | Burial cloth of red, black, and white abaca threads, said to be 400 years old, found in a wooden coffin |
| Tepiña fabric | Palawan | Made from leaves of native pineapple; used for cover-ups, jacket wraps, and shawls |

Panubok motifs come from nature. Examples are sudlikama (python skin or scales), matang punay (eye of the punay bird), sikag-sikag (fishbone), tuko-tuko (gecko), tugi-tugi (zigzag), and girigiti (vine design). Panay Island is called the Textile Capital of the Philippines because it exports hand-woven fabric.

Let’s begin with Oriental and Occidental Mindoro; the home of the ethnolinguistic group called Mangyan composing of namely Iraya, Alangan, Tadyawan, Tau-buid, Bangon, Buhid, Hanunuo and Ratagnon groups.
ATTIRE
[photo: linggon, a white jacket-style blouse with red cross designs; and bahag, a man wearing a loincloth]
Mangyan men usually wear G-strings (loincloth) or bahag and a jacket style shirt blouse called linggon embroidered with pakudos. Mangyan women also wear linggon as well as a red cloth around their chest and white skirt, bark bra string, skirts weave backstrap looms and skirts made of long strips of woven nito.
Meanwhile, pakudos is a Mangyan design composed of a simple vertical and horizontal lines which form a cross. It was derived from the Spanish word “cruz” means cross. Its design is dominantly red in a white and blue blouse called linggon.
[illustration: pakudos, a cross-shaped geometric design with vertical and horizontal lines]
Palawan tribes are composed of Tagbanua, Batak, Palawano, Palaweño, and Tau’t Bato. In particular, men of these tribes also wear G-string, in fact their traditional clothing comes from the pounded bark of trees, particularly salugin while women wear sarongs/ tapis skirts and bare-breasted.
One of the Visayan ethnic tribes is the Panay Bukidnon, which are also called Suludnon or Tumandok.
Tumandok women wear a traditional red blouse called sinumbrahan na pula. Tumandok men also wear a red and black native costume with panubok designs. Their attire is dominantly red in color. Meanwhile, patadyong, a wrap-around colorful skirt with linear and geometric designs; checkered or square designs, usually in bright color combinations is used also by Visayan women as a skirt, paired with kimona made from pineapple fiber and along with handkerchief called tubao that is usually placed above the right shoulder.
[illustration: sinumbrahan na pula, a red blouse with wide sleeves and embroidered designs]
FABRIC AND TAPESTRIES
[photo: ramit, a folded woven textile with red, navy, and white stripes and fringed ends]
Ramit is a woven textile made from indigo-dyed homespun cotton, with intricate geometric patterns. It was created by the Buhid and Hanunuo Mangyans of Mindoro.
Like the Kadangyan of Bontoc. Mt. Province, the Banton in Romblon island has also a burial cloth woven from red, black and white abaca threads known as banton cloth which is said to be 400 years old and was found in a wooden coffin in the said province.
[photo: banton cloth, a woven textile with red, black, white, and brown bands]
Because of the Spaniards’ love for dresses, in the seventeenth century a cloth made from pineapple fabric was born and it was called Barong Tagalog. Until this day, pineapple fabric is still in demand and one of the proofs is the Tepiña fabric from plant to textile of Rurungan sa Tubod Foundation Incorporation in Palawan which comes from the leaves of the native pineapple (Ananas comosus) plant in forests nearby Puerto Princesa which produced products such as cover-up, jacket wrap, and shawl.
[photo: tepiña fabric, a golden, smooth textile]
Panay island is known as the Textile Capital of the Philippines because it exports hand woven fabric in other countries.
If the Mangyans have their pakudos, the Tumandok have their counterpart, the panubok. It is, a traditional embroidery which decorates native bags, handkerchiefs, headgears, and bracelets. Panubok comes from two local words “tubok” and “manunubok“. It has different designs and motifs of nature such as bulak ng labog/linabog (rounded flower) Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), sudlikama (skin or scales of python snake), matang punay (the eye of a punay bird), sikag-sikag (fishbone), bulak putik (triangular flower design), pako-pako (wild edible fiddlehead fern (Athyrium esculentum), tuko-tuko (gecko), pakpak aguring (wing of araguring insect), tugi-tugi (zigzag design), binunghay (weaved bamboo strips design) and girigiti (vine design).
[photo: panubok, a dark textile with colorful diamond and zigzag embroidered patterns]
Moreover, a textile common in western provinces of Visayas is hablon, a Hiligaynon word for “habol” means the weaving process and the textile itself. It is a glossy, smooth, colorful textile composed of vertical and horizontal lines which comes from the combination of silk and cotton. It is used to make patadyong. Hablon industries can be found in Miagao, Arevalo, Janiuay, Jaro, Mandurriao, Molo, Sta. Barbara, and Tigbauan.
[photo: hablon, a colorful striped textile in red, purple, blue, and yellow]
Banana (Musa paradisiaca) fabric handwoven from the fibers of banana leaf is also a popular fabric in Visayas. It is used in making Barong Tagalog in Visayas.
Textile, in general, serves a different purpose in culture. For example, burial cloth cannot be used as a table cloth. To really understand the importance of textiles in the Philippines kindly watch the video clip below.
