Traditional Culture Of the Philippines
Traditional Filipino tattoos
Traditional Filipino tattoos are known by different names depending on which tribe, region, or province visited. It's common name in scholarly articles is either batek or batok, but it is also called fatek, fatok, and patik which all derive from the sound of the tattooing instruments hitting one another. In my Wiki article, I am focusing on the tattooed Kalinga villages near the Cordillera Mountains, in Northern Luzon.
Lars Krutak, claims 89 year old woman Whang Od of Buscalan is that last remaining Kalinga artist. However, current Oxford scholar Analyn Ikin V. Salvador-Amores names Lakay
Bayanihan
The Bayanihan (pronounced as buy-uh-nee-hun) is a Filipino custom derived from a Filipino word “bayan”, which means nation, town or community. The term bayanihan itself literally means “being in a bayan”, which refers to the spirit of communal unity, work and cooperation to achieve a particular goal.

Folk
dances are dances that are developed by people that reflect the life of
the people of a certain country or region. Not all ethnic dances are
folk dances; for example, ritual dances or dances of ritual origin are
not considered to be folk dances. Ritual dances are usually called
"Religious dances" because of their purpose.
The terms "ethnic" and "traditional" are used whenit is required to
emphasize the cultural roots of the dance. In this sense, nearly all folk dances are ethnic ones.
If
some dances, such as polka, cross ethnic boundaries and even cross the
boundary between "folk" and "ballroom dance", ethnic differences are
often considerable enough to mention.

MARIA CLARA or FILIPINIANA
Filipiniana, based on the definition by Isagani Medina from "Collection Building: Filipiniana", in his In Developing Special Library Collections, Filipiniana: Proceedings (November 1992)
refers to Philippine-related books and non-book materials (such as figurines, games, fashion and others). The materials may be produced inside or outside the Philippines by Filipino or non-Filipino authors. The product could be literature written in any of the languages and dialects in the Philippines or a foreign language. These
are the outfits introduced by the Spaniards when they colonized the Philippines.
