Traditional Kalinga Mambabatok Designs from the village of Buscalan.

The Kalinga Project

The goal of The Kalinga Project is to spreadawareness about the cultures of The Philippines, discover how to improve quality of life by developing Filipino-American relations with the tribes in the Kalinga area and the greater surrounding Cordilleras. We intend on doing this by teaming up with the tribes of the Cordilleras, developing recycling facilities and infrastructure that would allow for the development of 3d printing farm and a manufacturing industry in Cordilleras.

Traditional Kalinga Art

The “Wanderer Eagle” is the contribution from Buscalan by Renalyne Luis a mambabatok, traditional Kalinga tattooist. After receiving the design and combining our art style with the traditional Kalinga we came up with, The Kalinga Project logo. We here stateside added the 8 rayed sun of the Philippines and a couple other small design additions, our goal was to compliment Renalyne’s design as much as possible.
