Filipino BarkCloth_Batak in Palawan?
Batak bark cloth making from GrassrootsVoices on BC Diversity on Vimeo.
The date of this blog post is March 28, 2014.
Finding information on the web about Bark Cloth art form amounst the various peoples of the Philippines, produces little to no results. Even this video provides little to no information beyond its multimedia content...which is still highly valuable.

The Pintados Project
"A journey into the convergence of ancient Filipino traditions and modern expressions of a nation reclaiming its cultural identity."
A production dreamed by photojournalist and film maker Heather Fassio.

But as of the date of this post, February 16, 2014 there is no sign of the documentary anywhere.

"The Pintados Project is collaborative documentary film dedicated to preserving Filipino cultural heritage. The project follows a Filipina-American woman [Fassio] as she ventures back to her mother's homeland seeking to uncover the legacy left by her ancestors, the group of tattooed warriors nicknamed by the Spanish Conquistadors as "Los Pintados", the Painted Ones.
The film is an exploration into Filipino identity and spirit, taking an intimate look at this culture through the eyes of individuals who are using ancient traditions as modern-day expressions of cultural pride. The Director of the film, and protagonist, being a Filipina-American, will share her own quest and through her desire to connect with her roots she discovers that she's not alone in this endeavor, that there is a growing revival and resurgence of interest amongst her generation of Filipinos born abroad who wish to identify with their heritage..."

I am pleased to find more and more projects like this springing up.
Critical Mass is a matter of threshold...
