There are eight ethnolinguistic groups in Mindoro. One of these is the Hanunuo Mangyans to the south of the island. 

The Hanunuo Mangyans of Mindoro still weave on their traditional backstrap looms called 'harablon.' Their textiles designs are called 'ramit' which features designs in seven different geometric patterns (scroll down to the end of the page). Traditionally, ramit textiles are worn as skirts and used as blankets to carry children. Today, women still wear ramit skirts but it is now also found in various different uses, such as scarves and table runners. 

Handspun cotton has become a rare commodity. The Mangyans now use readily available thread in the market. This vintage blanket is from handspun cotton and the borders are of indigo dyed cotton.

The 'bayong' is a traditional bag made by the Hanunuo Mangyan. It is used by both men and women to hold betel chew ingredients and other items. It is made out of soft, narrow strips of of buri palm leaf and nito vine.

As one of only four pre-10th-century Filipino indigenous scripts still in use, the Hanunuo Mangyan writing system remains an essential part of Mangyan culture through the 'ambahan'—beautiful, sung poetry that shares wisdom across generations.  Traditionally, it is written on fresh bamboo or bamboo slats.
