    Western Visayas in the Philippines has a long history of boat making that predates Spanish colonization. Boat making was an important industry in the region due to the country's geography and marine resources, and the availability of timber. Traditional boat builders use common woodworking tools and techniques to construct boats of various sizes out of wood. While boat designs have been scaled up over time, issues have emerged regarding wood availability, safety, and performance. Research on boat hydrodynamics and incident reports show the benefits of double outrigger designs but also the need for regulations on motorized boats. Boat making had religious significance in pre-colonial beliefs and rituals.

    “Boat Making”

    Western Visayas is prominent in boat making industry


    here in the Philippines long before the coming of
    Spaniards. The construction of this wooden boat is a
    flourishing activity in the region due to the archipelagic
    character of the country and its varied marine resources,
    and made possible by the abundant and excellent timber
    on the islands.

    Boat making uses


    many common house tools such as hammers, crosscut
    saws, power drills, bench vises. Regardless of size, the
    same construction techniques are used by native boat
    builders with wood as the main building material. Many
    hull forms, particularly economically important fishing
    boats, have been scale up, resulting in problems related
    to the availability of wood for construction, safety at sea
    and performance. Model experiments on craft
    performance show the hydrodynamic characteristics of
    the double outrigger form and describe characteristics
    important for design and operation of the crafts. The
    presence of outriggers has a definite effect on the
    heave, pitch and roll motion of the crafts as compared to
    the hull without an outrigger. Data analysis of maritime
    incident reports show a high percentage of capsizing by
    these motorized boats, highlighting the need for some
    regulation of their design and construction. Other
    concerns related to fisheries as being the main are use
    of these are further discussed.

    In the various animist anitism beliefs of pre-colonial Philippines, the building of


    Bangka often involved religious rituals, from the choosing of the trees for timber to
    rituals before voyages. Newly built Bangka was imbued with a guardian spirit (anito)
    through various rituals, usually involving blood sacrifices. Ancient and early colonial-
    era Bangka were also usually decorated with a
    carved or painted face. Bangka had a central
    role in Pre-Hispanic Filipino culture, functioning
    as personal transports, fishing ships, trading
    ships, and raiding warships. Motorized or
    paddle-driven Bangka still remain the main
    form of watercraft in the Philippines.
