AB  - This study attempts to trace and record the details of the costumes of the cultural communities in Bukidnon and the factors related in their choice of clothing. A structured personal interview was used to gather data from seven ethnolinguistic groups in Bukidnon, namely: Matigsalug, Tala-andig, Pulangion, Umayamnon, Ilianon, Tigwahanon, Southern and Western Manobo. The findings of the study are the following : 1. Prior to the Spanish colonization, children were naked from birth to seven years old. The adult men and women had no upper garments. The women wore tapis and the men wore bahag made from barks of trees. Accessories worn were necklaces, bracelets, earrings, earplugs and ginger rings made of seeds, shells, bones, horns, metal, wild boar's and cat's teeth, hairs and tusk; the ampuklas and tikkos were made of vines. 2. Costumes in the early part of Spanish colonization were blouses and skirts for women and loose shirts and abaca pants for men. Indigenous vegetable dyes were used in dyeing abaca fibers. In the latter part of the American regime, costumes were of the same style; however, they were made of manufactured fabrics. Red, white, black and dark blue are the usual colors selected. The decorations used on their costumes were dominantly geometric and stylized naturalistic designs applied either appliqued or embroidered. Accessories used were made of beads, brass and bronze. 3. Further changes in their custumes took place after the coming of Presidential Assistance on National Minorities (PANAMIN) in 1975. Factory-made cotton and/ or cotton blended fabrics were used. Decorative designs were modified into simpler forms. However, it was of the same style and color. Fashionable costume jewelry were popularly used. 4. Costumes worn by these ethnolinguistic groups speak of their culture, socio-economic status and psychological perception. They also show identity, promote brotherhood and unity. Similarities of costumes among the groups were also observed when the costumes of the group under study were compared with costumes of the other cultural communities in Mindanao. 6. Differences of costumes among the groups were found in the Matigsalug and Tala-andig costumes.
