COLOURS OF BUKIDNON

The traditional Bukidnon women of Mindanao in the Philippines,are remarkable for their most colourful dress and the typical combination of colours used by the tribes are red, black and white. Renowned for their elaborate use of embroidery, appliqué and beadwork, their jackets are made of bright material stitched together like patchwork with geometric designs from different bright coloured materials With their hair combed back, held by headbands with tassels of red or yellow yarn and the ends tied in a bun, they wear fan-shaped headdresses made of bamboo sticks or rattan covered with material and decorated with beads, shells and feathers. The Bukidnon Province has seven ethnic tribes namely: Tala-andig, Higaonon, Umayamnon, Manobo, Tigwahanon, Matigsalug and Bukidnon.
