FILIPINO IDENTITY on a REMOTE ISLAND IN TAWI TAWI - Women Weavers of Mapun, Philippines 

I have put Auntie Janeth's Facebook in the description. Also, They do have a few very large and intricate pieces... that I may be able to bring to Manila if anyone is interested in purchasing them? You can message me on my Facebook Page: BecomingFilipino if you are interested. Power On!

This was so fascinating and informative. Salamat kaayo for bringing us along to see the weavers at work and for sharing the discussion about the Jama Mapun and their difference from the Sama Badjao. This got more in depth about the culture there. Those banig are stunningly beautiful! 🤯❤❤❤

Beautiful talaga ang mga gawa nila

Fun fact: it's probably forgotten even by the Sama and the Mapun themselves, but colorful banig like these were THE SAILS you see on the famous vinta. They were the sails of ALL our boats throughout Austronesian countries. They were made from woven pandan leaves (sometimes buri or nipa too). Literally banig woven into lengthwise mats, stitched together. It's a very very ancient technology, and what allowed our ancestors to settle islands across two oceans.

I love all the banig ! I grow up sleeping on it .. I hope one day mapasyalan ko yan. And can buy all those beautiful mat . Thank you Kulas for sharing this .❤️🙏

Ang gagaling ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 GOD BLESS PO

Ang ganda nman dyan kuya kulas 💙🌻💙

Mapun island is 181 sq km or 181,000 hectares - Boracay is 10 sq km or 10,000 hectares - Each island hosts 30,000 people but Mapun is 18 times bigger - The Phil govt must do more to develop Mapun - they need their own airport and a modern port - Mapun people are resourceful hardworking people - they deserve more from the Phil govt. -

Kumar even took a picture of the eagle flying 🦅 It is looked like it is on 3-D animation that you edit it 🦅 And eagle is the national bird of the Philippines 🦅 And they are making weavers made from coconut leaf and they color it 🌴🥥 It is there cultural way making those weavers. And you learned a lot of language across the archipelago of the Philippines. It is really a great experience on you. And there vegetable in Tawi-Tawi is water spinach or swamp cabbage AKA kangong 🌿 And they had a butternut squash and an eggplant that they put oyster sauce on it 🎃🍆🦪🍶 And there dish are mainly fish and chicken a pork free zone because there are muslims in Tawi-Tawi 🐟🍗✔🍖🚫 And in Tawi-Tawi they had there imported goods from Malaysia. They even had a poster of the Malaysian Nestle Ice Cream and Kumar copied it 🍨 And the muslims in Southeast Asia came from Indian and Arab merchants. And the Christianity in the Philippines came from Spanish. And Israel introducec Christianity in Spain that is why the Spanish introduce Christianity in the Philippines. And there is a Bisaya from Davao City. And the Visayans in Mindanao are originally from Visayas they came in Mindanao in 1900s.

Great Job Kulas , How can we buy their product , from your New York follower .

Attis I miss that

Now we know even in tawi tawi there is called a palm call palapas thats why pilipino many culture but they have same faith

kulas❤❤ keep safe

pagbilhan ng banig manang

🥷📷🙂🇨🇦🇵🇭🤙

5th ?😇

Question for you is it true that in the Philippines language there are no words for he or she because both are equal in the Philippines society

So educational, butI have seen designs in Tjmor Leste or Muslim community have similarities. Can we order?

17:31 is that an airstrip?

Where can we order those types of Mapun banigs, Kulas?

They used the Palaspas to drive away the Multo

How can we order their beautiful mats?

How do they speak good English if they live in a very remote part of the Philippines?

Part of the real Pilipino culture is to put a 🌴 trees 🌴 leaves at purtahan🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆
