A
Rhythm in Early Y
Philippine Music 1
QUARTER 2 WEEK

Activity Title: "Echo the Beat!"

The teacher claps a rhythm with a

certain speed (slow, moderate, fast).

Learners echo the beat and identify the

tempo as slow, moderate, or fast.

Ask:
How did the tempo make you feel?
Yesterday, we explored how early
Philippine music was used in various
aspects of life. Today, we'll discover
how the speed of music, or tempo,
also plays a role in these practices.
Today, we will learn how tempo helps
express emotion and meaning in
early Philippine music—and how it
connects with Filipino traditions and
ways of life.

Guide Question:
What differences
did you hear?

How did the tempo

affect how the
music felt or what
it might be used
for?
Tempo is a musical term that refers to the
speed or pace at which a piece of music is
played. It determines how fast or slow the beats
in music move. Just like how we can walk slowly
or run quickly, music can also "move" in
different speeds, creating various effects and
feelings for the listener.
Tempo is usually measured in beats per minute
(BPM), but in early Philippine music, tempo was
often determined naturally—by the rhythm of
life, movement, or the activity it was connected
to.
Common Tempo Markings:

Lento – Slow and gentle; like a slow walk

or a lullaby.

Moderato – Moderate or medium-paced;

like the rhythm of working or walking
steadily.

Allegro – Fast and lively; like dancing or

playing.
Tempo can be:

Steady – The speed stays the same

throughout the song. This is common in
work songs or rituals where repetition and
rhythm are important.

Changing – The speed varies within the

song to reflect shifts in emotion or action.
This is more common in modern or
performance-based music.
Cultural Significance of Tempo in
Early Philippine Music

In early Philippine communities,

music was not just for
entertainment—it served specific
functions in daily life, culture, and
tradition. The tempo of music played
a key role in how that music was
used and understood.
1. Slow Tempo
Purpose: To create a calm, respectful, or
solemn mood.

Used in:

Rituals and ceremonies – such as

healing rituals, prayer offerings, or
memorial services. Example: Hudhud
chants of the Ifugao people.
Why slow?: Slow tempos
help listeners focus on the
message, emotions, or
spiritual meaning of the
music. It sets a quiet,
reflective mood.
2. Moderate Tempo

Purpose: To support regular, repetitive, or practical

activities.

Used in:

Work songs – such as rice pounding or planting songs.

These songs keep workers in rhythm and make the task
feel lighter.

Lullabies – for putting children to sleep.

Farming and fishing songs – accompanying movements

Why moderate?: Moderate
tempos match the pace of
natural, everyday actions,
helping people move together
or stay in sync during tasks.
3. Fast Tempo

Purpose: To energize, excite, or encourage

movement.

Used in:

Celebrations and dances – like Tinikling,

Maglalatik, or Binanog. These dances often require
quick, sharp movements.

Festivals – where music adds joy and a sense of

community.
Why fast?: Fast tempos
lift the spirit, stimulate
energy, and help people
move rhythmically during
joyful gatherings.

Philippine Art Based on Y
Use of Mediums, 2
Patterns, and
Symbolisms
QUARTER 2 WEEK

Look at the picture of Early Philippine Arts:

What materials do
you think were
used?

What could these

artworks be for?
Last meeting, we learned about
the different forms of early
Philippine art. Today, we will go
deeper and group these
artworks based on their
materials, patterns, and
meanings, and find out what
they tell us about our ancestors'
beliefs and ways of life.
Why do you think ancient
people used specific designs or
materials in their art?

Today’s goal is to help you

understand that early art wasn’t
just decoration—it reflected the
identity, culture, and values of
the people who made it.
Early art from
different indigenous
groups:

T'boli T'nalak
textile – abaca
fibers, geometric
patterns, dream-
inspired designs
Kalinga tattoos
(batok) – ink from
soot, symbolic of
bravery and social
status
Ifugao
woodcarvings
(bul’ul) –
hardwood,
represent rice
spirits
Manunggul Jar
– clay, swirls
and boat design,
represents belief
in the afterlife
Categorization of Art
When studying early Philippine art,
we can better understand its
meaning by categorizing it into
three key aspects: medium,
pattern, and symbolism. These
categories help us describe not only
what we see but also why the art
was made.
1. Medium
This refers to the material
used to create the artwork.
The medium can give us
clues about the
environment, resources, and
skills of the people who
made the art.
Examples of mediums in early
Philippine art:
 Cloth – Used in weaving textiles like
the T’nalak of the T'boli
 Wood – Used in carvings like the Bulul
statues of the Ifugao
 Clay – Used in pottery like the
Manunggul Jar found in Palawan
 Skin – Used as canvas for tattooing, as
seen in Kalinga and Visayan traditions
By identifying the medium,
we understand how
indigenous groups utilized
local, natural materials to
express themselves and
meet both practical and
spiritual needs.
2. Pattern
Patterns are repeated
lines, shapes, or
designs used in the
artwork. Patterns can be
decorative, but they also
often carry specific
meanings.
Common types of patterns:
 Geometric – Made up of straight lines,
zigzags, triangles, diamonds (e.g.,
T’nalak)
 Curvilinear – Composed of curves and
flowing lines (e.g., Manunggul Jar
designs)
 Spirals and Swirls – May represent
life, water, or spiritual journeys
 Symmetrical designs – Suggest
balance, order, or harmony
Patterns were not chosen
randomly. Indigenous
artists used them
deliberately to convey
stories, values, or
protection from spiritual
harm.
3. Symbolism
Symbolism is the deeper
meaning or message
behind the artwork. It
explains why the art was
made and what it
represents in the context of
culture and beliefs.
Examples of symbolism:
 A bul’ul statue symbolizes a rice
spirit, believed to guard crops
and bring a good harvest.
A tattoo could symbolize
bravery, identity, or a
milestone in a person’s life.
 A boat image on a burial jar may
symbolize the soul's journey to
the afterlife.
Through symbolism, we see that early
art was rich in meaning, often used for
spiritual, social, and ceremonial
purposes.

Cultural Expression
Art in early Philippine society was more
than decoration—it was a powerful
expression of culture. It reflected the
beliefs, roles, and way of life of the
people.
Art Reflects Beliefs
Artworks were deeply tied to spiritual beliefs and
worldviews.

 The T’boli people believe their weaving designs

(particularly in T’nalak textiles) are gifts from the
spirit Fu Dalu, received through dreams. This
makes the art sacred, and weavers must follow
certain rituals before weaving.
 The Manunggul Jar, decorated with a boat on its
lid, reflects early Filipinos’ belief in the afterlife
—that the soul travels to another world after
death.
Art Shows Social Roles and Identity
Some art was used to show one’s status or
achievements.
 Among the Kalinga, tattoos (batok) were not
just for beauty. They were earned through acts
of bravery and showed a person’s rank or life
achievements. Men earned tattoos through
headhunting and women through social status
or rites of passage.
 Textiles often reflected the social class or
tribe of the wearer. Certain patterns were
reserved for the datu (chieftain) or spiritual
leaders.
Art Preserved Traditions and Daily Life
Art was also a way of preserving stories,
history, and knowledge.
 Designs on tools, baskets, and clothing
were passed down from generation to
generation, keeping cultural identity alive.
 Songs, dances, and storytelling were
sometimes paired with art forms like
tattoos and woven patterns to strengthen
oral traditions.

Ask quick oral questions.

What are net/wall games?

What is the main objective of

net/wall games?

What does “relationship with people

and objects” mean?
Today, we will focus on where
you position yourself in a game
and how you can move into
open space. Good positioning
helps you defend better, attack
more effectively, and work well
with your teammates.
Let’s watch the short
video on the slide.

https://

shorts/Uw1XX3nfYNA
What did you notice
on the movement of
the player?
Positioning

What it is:
Where you choose to stand or move before,
during, and after a play so you can act
quickly and effectively.

Why it matters:
Good positioning = easier receptions/returns,
fewer collisions, better teamwork, and more
scoring chances.
Teacher cues (say these out
loud):
 “Ready, feet light!”
 “Fill the empty space, don’t crowd
the same spot.”
 “Shift with the ball—if the ball
moves, you move.”
 “Attack shape vs. defend shape—
adjust!”
Key elements in practice:

1. Ready to
receive/intercept
oBody shape: knees bent,
heels light, racket/hands up,
eyes on object.
oTiming: small hop or “split
2. Appropriate distance from
teammates
oRule of thumb: keep one arm-
span + one big step between
partners.
oCover zones: in pairs, use front–
back (attack) or side–side
(defense) shapes; in small
groups, assign left/middle/right
lanes.
3. Adjust to game situation
oAttack: one player closer to the
target line (net/wall), partner
covers the deep space.
oDefense: both a bit deeper,
balanced and wider to cover
angles.
Transition: after you hit, recover to
your zone—don’t admire your shot
Common mistakes → Quick fixes
 Both players chase the same ball. →
“Call it early: ‘Mine!’ ‘Yours!’”
 Standing flat-footed. → “Bounce on
the toes—small hops.”
 Ball-watching (forgetting
partner/space). → “Glance: ball →
partner → space.”
 No recovery after hitting. → “Hit–
recover: two quick steps back to
base.”
Spatial Awareness

What it is:
Knowing where you are relative to the
ball/shuttle, teammates, opponents, and
court boundaries—and using that
knowledge to choose smart movements
and shots.
Why it matters:
It prevents stepping out, reduces collisions,
and helps you find open space to win
Teacher cues:
“Scan: ball → space →
boundary.”
“See the empty floor.”
“Play to space, not to people.”
“Angle beats power.”
Key points
1. Open Space
oDefinition: Areas with no defender or
late defender.
oHow to use: Move before the ball
arrives; pass/hit into that space.
oCue for movers: “Arrive early, hands
ready.”
oCue for hitters: “Eyes up—aim where
they aren’t.”
2. Boundaries
oKnow the lines: side, back,
service lines (varies by game).
oFootwork habit: last step
short near a line; avoid
lunging out.
oDecision rule: If you’re off-
balance near a line, play a
safer central target.
3. Angles
oIdea: A diagonal (crosscourt) is
longer and often safer; a
straight (down-the-line) is
shorter and riskier but faster to
surprise.
oDefense angles: Stand so your
body “splits” the likely shot
paths—middle first, then chase
the line if needed.
Common mistakes → Quick
fixes
 Open space ignored. → “Point to
space before you pass—then pass
there.”
 Stepping out of bounds. → “See
the line early; shorten last step.”
 Forcing straight shots under
pressure. → “Go crosscourt to buy
time.”
Mini-drills
 Space-Call: Feeder tosses; receiver must
shout “Left/Right/Middle” (open space)
before hitting.
 Line Buddy: Partner stands on the sideline
calling “In/Out” as you approach; trains
boundary awareness.
 Angle Targets: Place two cones crosscourt,
one down-the-line. Learner must hit 3 to
crosscourt for every 1 down-the-line (builds
smart shot selection).
Quick partner checks (self-
assessment)
“Did I scan before moving?”
“Did I recover to a smart
spot?”
“Did I aim to space, not to a
person?”
Activity 1: Positioning and Spatial
Awareness
Instructions: Write T if the statement is
true, and F if the statement is false.

1. ___ In attack shape, both players should

stand side-by-side to cover the width of
the court.
2. ___ Good positioning helps reduce
collisions and improves teamwork.
3. ___ Open space is an area
where defenders are already
waiting to receive the ball.
4. ___ When playing near a
boundary line, it’s better to take
a shorter last step to stay
balanced.
5. ___ Scanning means checking
the ball, space, and boundaries
before deciding your next move.
