LAL-LO CAGAYAN, REGION II
Burnay are earthen jars with small openings while those with
bigger mouths are called wangging. In the early years, the
burnay, locally known as tapayan or banga, was used for storage
of water, rice grains, basi (sugarcane wine) and condiments like
salt and bagoong (fish paste). Burnay jars are also used in the
fermentation of vinegar that comes from the sweet sap of the
Arenga Pinnata, a sugar palm tree more commonly known as “
kaong.” According to locals, Arengga vinegar tastes better if
stored in burnay jars than in plastic or metal containers.

Ethnic tradition
Art forms during the Pre-colonial period were mainly influenced by
geographical location and the practices of the Filipinos. Most of their arts were
animist or community-inspired. For early Filipinos who lived in highlands,
dance steps were imitations of movements of animals like birds while those
who were near the coastline mimicked sea creatures movements. Tattoo was
believed to be an art during this period. It served as war medal for killing an
enemy in a war. Tints from woods or charcoal were used to draw tattoos. In
terms of visual arts, wood carving, weaving, and pottery were leading during
this period. For their architecture, they used native resources like anahaw,
bamboo, cogon, and rattan in building their houses. Epics, myths, riddles, and
proverbs were few from their literature. Content of music varied from war,
rowing, courting, reaping, etc. Instruments like bamboo flutes and brass
gongs were used to accompany their songs. On the subject and concept of
theater arts, ethnic performances and ceremonials were the early theatrical
presentations describing their principles in life.
