I too h...I love this writings of yours Mr. Delson. I too have a lufid decorating the top of my drawer cabinet covered with a glass top to protect it. It has more blue color though. With do respect to your manang, I think it is a matter of personal choice and perspective of wether a lufid is displayed for decoration. I can understand why your parents did as I do because when we leave our home to live in another country like Australia or AMerican in your case, we tend to miss our hometown and people and culture. It is not practical to wear our lufid in the new country so we place it where it can constantly remind us of our being. I'm sure your parents would agree. Again it's a matter of perspective. My lolo still wears his wanno (what you call wanes) at every opportunity he can like festivities because he wore it most of his life until he migrated away with us. He thinks its funny to treat a lufid or wanno like some special religious cloth or sacred flag and laughed at the thought of burning it only because they are just clothing to him. He equates it to treating underwear like something special. I can see his point because he wore his every day for more than 60 years wheres many today and even those like me in my 50s didn't wear it hardly except for special occassions. Maybe thats why some treat them more special than others. Again a matter of perspective. I think your writing here should be more directed to Igorots trying to adopt to a new country because for us, we can appreciate it better since we miss our home so dearly. Please tell your parents for me that they did well raising you because it sadens me to see less and fewer Igorot families around the table often because of their work and so modernized that there is nothing in their house from home like a lufid.iKiangan momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453924994209545783.post-7632343191660173122010-10-18T12:35:46.442-05:002010-10-18T12:35:46.442-05:00@ lulu . . .

I posted the essay in my FB<br /><br />WRAPPED IN PRAYERS<br /><br />(Meaning of Symbols in the Bontoc Lufid)<br /><br />By Maria Luz Delson Fang-asan<br /><br /><br />Lufid is the traditional attire for women highlanders of Mountain Province, Northern Philippines. It is a rectangular handwoven garment wrapped around the waist and held tight by a thick woven belt called wakes or bakget with its ends left hanging at the back. It is generically called tapis, a term also used by lowlanders, but it is called lufid in Bontoc and gabuy/getap/ gateng/pingay/la-oy/aw-wad in other parts of Mountain Province. <br /><br />The lufid, as described by Nguslab et al. (2007), consists of colorful horizontal stripes with designs of varying shapes. Many also have white strips with designs in the middle that are easily distinguished from the other strips. Its width ranges from 28 to 30 inches while its length varies from 40 up to 55 inches long. The dominant colors of the garment are white, red, black and green. The green one is popularly called sinamoki with reference to Samoki, the place where it is woven. In other parts of Mountain Province, it is called binontok, meaning it is “of Bontoc”.<br /> <br />The different types of ‘lufid’, identified by the Bontoc weavers are Kulibangbang, Khinain, Khinuwafaw, Khinawaan, Khinayaan, and the lufid for the dead. The term for each type is usually based on the main features of the design. For instance, the Kulibangbang (local term for butterfly) has several butterfly-like figures in the design.<br /><br />My first lufid was a gift from my grandmother when I graduated from grade school. She gave one to my big sister the year before so I knew I would get one too. “Every Igorot girl should have one”, my grandmother said.<br /><br />When I finally got mine, it was like a rite of passage for me although there really is no ritual for the giving of a lufid to an Igorot girl. For some reason, it made me feel special. I do not remember her telling me how to take care of it but somehow I knew and I felt that as a special piece of clothing, it should be treasured and respected. With that, I never felt comfortable seeing the lufid used as seat covers, table runners, etc. I also feel that, like a flag, it should be burnt when already worn and torn, rather than being used as rags.<br /><br />A clear understanding of my regard for the lufid came many years later when my student Christina B. Nguslab, a colleague Marife D. Carpio and I looked into the meaning of the figures adorning the lufid, a dimension that I took for granted for a long, long time. <br /> (cut ....)<br />The symbolic meaning of the figures in the design are the very same things that are being solicited from Almighty God Kabunian every time a prayer is uttered. So you can say, that while wearing your lufid, you are practically wrapped in prayers.//<br /><br />there are pics accompanying this essay but i dont know how to paste it here.lulunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453924994209545783.post-19866858395641906752010-10-18T00:08:42.197-05:002010-10-18T00:08:42.197-05:00nice thought there brother!!i've seen the tapi...nice thought there brother!!i've seen the tapis, wanes and other woven products a dozen times but never entertained the thought of what goes behind those designs..there must be a story or purpose....it's inspiring to see someone look back into his own roots amidst this very diverse culture we live in...lynnenoreply@blogger.com
