Pintados
- Tatoos for bravery and beauty
The art of tattooing as a
form of permanent body adornment has been
around for quite a while. The best evidence of such an
early tradition would be the tattoos seen on the mummies of
Kabayan, believed to be some 200 to 400 years old. The
leathery skin of the adult mummies still bear traces of the
traditional geometric designs drawn on their extremities.
Tattooing was very prevalent among the people in the
so-called "interior" or heartland of the mountains
of Northern Luzon, Central Visayas, and Southern Mindanao.

Costume
at the Fin de Siecle - Paņuelo
he "high, born" appearance of the Maria Clara
ensemble is attributed to the paņuelo, which owes its
splendid effect to its re-articulation of the ruff of the
Euro, pean baroque court dress. But if derivation from a
native source were to be deter, mined, that source has to be
the alampay, which was a flexible scarf for head, neck and
shoulders in pre' Maria Clara days.
