Buhid women wear woven black and white brassiers called linagmom  and a black skirt called abol. Unmarried women wear body ornaments such as a braided nito belt ( lutas ), blue thread earrings, beaded headband ( sangbaw ), beaded bracelet ( uksong ), and beaded long necklace ( siwayang or ugot ).      Buhid Retrieved from http://www.mangyan.org/content/buhid Ramit is a textile made by the Buhid and Hanunuo Mangyans. Traditionally worn as skirt. Woven textile (ramit) Retrieved from http://mangyan.org/products/woven-textile-ramit My reflection on Buhid. Mangyan, they are incerdibly amazing people. Aside from being pot makers, were Alangan and Hanunuo, used to bury their cooking pots from the Buhids. I have also learned that Buhid is a Philippine language spoken by the Mangyan people on  the island of Mindoro, mainly in Mindoro Occidental and Mindoro Oriental provinces. The buhids are traditionally mountain dwellers, they survive in the highlands.
