Gadur, one of the Maranao produced brasswares, has a distinct tall-spired lid and a body decorated with floral and geometric designs. It is generally a container of any sort, a decorative object, a flower vase, or a centerpiece in modern homes. It is also a ceremonial gift for the bride’s family given by the groom’s relatives during wedding festivities. In Lanao del Sur and Cotabato, the quantity and quality of brass/bronze items in one’s residence indicate wealth and status.

This Gadur forms part of the National Ethnographic Collection of the National Museum of the Philippines from the Maranao ethnolinguistic group of Lanao del Sur. It has a height of 48 centimeters and a diameter of 17.5 centimeters.

NATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY. In celebration of the National Women's Day 2021, with the theme "Juana Laban sa Pandemya: Kaya!" the presents "Filipinas: Photographs by Isa Lorenzo."

The exhibition, "Filipinas: Photographs by Isa Lorenzo," features thirty black and white photographs of a select group of women who are all achievers in their respective fields in the arts, education, social work, civil society, and politics. This exhibition has been mounted in different places and has traveled the world for ten years. The artist-photographer Isa Lorenzo generously donated the Filipinas photographs to the National Museum of the Philippines as a gift to the Filipino nation in 2016. These photographs were exhibited in March 2016 at the National Museum of Anthropology as a highlight of its National Women's Month celebration. As a traveling exhibition, Filipinas was mounted at the National Museum Ilocos in Vigan City in 2017. Currently, this exhibition is at the National Museum Western-Southern Mindanao in Zamboanga City since 2019.

This traveling exhibition aims to raise awareness among Filipinos of these women's contributions to our society and inspire fellow Filipinas, especially the young women, to aspire more and excel in their chosen fields.

Please find out more about these women on our next posts, as we feature each one of them in observance of the National Women's Month Celebration.

“Wika ng Kasaysayan, Kasaysayan ng Wika”
Ang mga Katutubong Wika sa Maka-Filipinong Bayanihan Kontra Pandemya

Nakatuon ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika 2020 sa kahalagahan ng Filipino at mga katutubong wika sa bansa bilang mabisang sandata sa pakikidigma laban sa pandemya. Layunin nitong himukin ang BAYANIHAN ng sambayanan upang labanan ang paglaganap ng COVID-19 sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng mga impormasyon o pabatid-publiko na nasa Filipino at mga katutubong wika. Ito ay pagbibigay kamalayan sa kahalagahan ng mandato ng Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) na isulong ang pagpapalaganap ng Filipino at mga katutubong wika sa bansa bilang pinakamabisang midyum sa pagkakaroon ng kolektibong pag-uunawaan ng sambayanan.

Bilang pagsuporta sa layunin ng Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino, ang National Museum Western-Southern Mindanao ay maglalabas ng mga salawikain at infographic ng mga katutubong salita na may kaugnayan sa tema ng selebrasyon.
