AGUNG

The agung is a set of two wide-rimmed, vertically suspended gongs used by the Maguindanao, Maranao, Sama-Bajau and Tausug people of thePhilippines as a supportive instrument in kulintang ensembles. The agung is also ubiquitous among other groups found in Palawan, Panay, Mindoro,Mindanao, Sabah, Sulawesi, Sarawak and Kalimantan as an integral part of the agung orchestra.[1]

The agung is a large, heavy, wide-rimmed gong shaped like a kettle gong. of the agung produces a bass sound in the kulintang orchestra and weighs between 13 and 16 pounds, but it is possible to find agungs weigh as low as 5 pounds or as high as 20 or 30 pounds each, depending on the metal (bronze, brass or iron) used to produce them.

GABBANG

A gabbang consists of a set of trapezoidal bamboo bars of increasing length. The number of bars varies with the group that made them. ForYakan, the number ranges from 3 to 9 bamboo bars but the commonagung gabbang has 5. For Tausug, the number ranges from 14 to 22 bamboo bars but the common gabbang has 12.

And for Palawan, the common gabbang has 5.[2]

KOLITONG

A Kolitong is a bamboo polychordal tube zither from Bontok,Kalinga, Philippines with six strings that run parallel to its tube body. The strings are numbered from one to six, from lowest to highest pitch. The body acts as the instrument's resonator. The body may be a whole tube or a half tube, in both cases the two ends of the body are closed by the bamboo nodes. To help with the resonance of the instrument, holes are made on both nodes and long cracks are made along the body parallel to the strings. In the Kalinga group, men play the

Kolitong at night as a solo instrument.[1] A variety of bamboo tube zithers are found throughout the Philippine archipelago, each zither differing from the other in name, size, and design depending on its associated ethnic group.

PALENDANG

The palendag, also called Pulalu (Manobo[1] and Mansaka), Palandag(Bagobo),[2] Pulala (Bukidnon) and Lumundeg (Banuwaen) is a type ofPhilippine bamboo flute, the largest one used by the Maguindanaon, a

smaller type of this instrument is called the Hulakteb (Bukidnon).[3] A lip-valley flute, it is considered the toughest of the three bamboo flutes (the others being the tumpong and the suling) to use because of the way

one must shape one's lips against its tip to make a sound.[4] The construction of the mouthpiece is such that the lower end is cut diagonally to accommodate the lower lip and the second diagonal cut is make for the blowing edge. Among the Bukidnon, a similar instrument with the same construction except that it is three-fourths the

length of the palendag, is called the hulakteb [3]

BABANDIL

The babandil is a single, narrow-rimmed Philippine gong[1] used primarily as the “timekeeper” of

the Maguindanao kulintang ensemble.[2] The babandil usually has a diameter of roughly one foot making it larger than the largest kulintang gong and comparable to the diameter of the agung organdingan. However, unlike the gandingan or the agung, the babendil has a sunken boss which makes the boss relatively non-

functional.[3] Because of their sunken boss, babendils are instead struck either at the flange or the rim, using

either bamboo betays or a strip of rattan, producing a sharp, distinctive metallic clang[2] and are sometimes considered “false gongs.” 

Products from Bicol Region

PILI

 A promising crop of Bicol has high potential for development for export. It is widely adapted in various agro-climatic conditions. It can be grown alone or intercropped with other crops. Its kernel is a very important material in the preparation of sweets, candies and other pili based processed products such as cakes and ice cream. 

PINEAPPLE

Traditionality grown in Camarines Norte, the fruit is relatively smaller compared to Sweet Cayenne or to Red Spanish but it is more crisp even when ripe, less watery and does not have the acidic aftertaste of Hawaiian.

The characteristics of the fruit like sweetness, aroma, texture, color and size recognizes its many potential for fro export both a fresh and processed ones.Total area planted to pineapple was estimated at 1,267.84 hectares.

ROOTCROP ( Cassava and sweet potato)

Regionwide, a total of 648,210 hectares are planted to coconut with 25% occupied and actually utilized because of its morphological features leaving 75% of the coconut land for diversification. Although the region ranked 4th nationwide in terms of area planted , the optimum copra production level per year of 850 kilograms of copra is low compared to the optimum level of 2-4 tons of copra per year. It turned out that at the present production level, the farmer earns only P12,750 per year at P15.00 per kilo.
