On May 31, 2023, the National Museum Bohol officially launched its newest exhibition, “PAGLAWIG: The Boholano Way of Life.” The exhibition presents artifacts and ecofacts recovered by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) in the 1980s in the municipalities of Anda, Mabini, Candijay, and Guindulman. These sites provided evidence of the utilization of stones, shells, and bones as tools and ornaments by early Boholanos. PAGLAWIG also provides an overview of the traditional Boholano crafts such as boat-building, fishing, farming, metalsmithing and jewelry-making, basket and raffia weaving, and the production of asin tibuok (artisanal sea salt).
