MANGYAN FASHION - ALANGAN

 

MANGYAN FASHION Alangan -  live in the municipalities of Naujan, Baco, San Teodoro, and Victoria in Oriental Mindoro, and in the municipality of Sablayan in Occidental Mindoro. The name Alangan was derived from the name of a river and mountain slopes in the upper Alangan Valley. The women traditionally wear a skirt called  lingeb. This is made of longstrips of woven nito ( forest vines ), and is wound around the abdomen. This is worn together with the g-string called abayen.  The upper covering is called ulango, made from the leaf of the wild buri palm.  Sometimes a red kerchief called limbutong is worn over the ulango. The men wear g-strings with fringes in front.   Conclusion: I realized that every group has different traditions and that they still do it today. It is very cool how they still wore the same things and not changing anything. I hope that most of these sub groups of mangyan dont change their traditions.  Source: http://mangyan.org/content/alangan
