Woodcarvers in Paete, the Philippines, hand-carved this nativity. Steeped in the tradition of carving, the very name of the town means "woodcarvers chisel" in Tagalog, the local language. The craft that placed Paete on the world map is specifically the carving of "pu-on"-images of the saints.    Small pieces of Bitukling or Marang wood are transformed into nativity figures and travel the world, escaping their fate as firewood for cooking. Larger pieces are carved into life-size sculptured saints.  Jose Barretto has been a wood carver for 37 years. Consistent work has enabled him to meet his family's daily necessities and send his children to school. As a proud father he celebrated his youngest daughter's graduation from nursing school in 2005. He shares with you a local proverb: "Kapag may tiyaga may nilaga" meaning patience and perseverance brings reward. (In this case the "nilaga" is a tasty meat and vegetable dish.)

Nativities from Philippines

The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands scattered between Indonesia and Taiwan in the western Pacific.  About 95 percent of the population lives on the 11 largest islands. These 11 islands comprise 95 percent of the Philippines land mass, and are mountainous except for the coastlines.  More than 90 percent of Filipinos are Christian. Small Muslim and Buddhist minorities are also represented. English and Pilipino are official languages in the Philippines. English is the main language used for business, education and government.  Anong balita? This informal greeting asking, "What's new?" is commonly used between friends in the Philippines.  Rice, fish, vegetables and tropical fruits are popular foods in the Philippines.  Movies and ballroom dancing are popular recreation activities for Filipinos in addition to sports and picnics at the beach. In recent years, the Philippines has reeled from natural disasters and warfare, both domestic and international. Guerilla activity throughout the country adds to the unrest. The Philippines gained independence from the United States in 1946, but the United States maintained a military presence until 1992.
