Pre-Colonial

Pre-colonial Philippine art was deeply functional, spiritual, and integrated into daily life, focusing on rituals, community, and nature rather than just aesthetics. It featured skilled pottery (Manunggul Jar), weaving (textiles/mats), woodcarving (Bulul), jewelry making, and early, symbolic rock art (Angono petroglyphs).
