Utilization of Geometric Shapes among Subanen People in Selected Barangays in Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte

Geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, and triangles are precise and regular. They are used in making things, like buildings and machines. The study determined the utilization and significance of geometric shapes to Subanen people in terms of materials, designs and constructions, recreational activities, equipment, functional food designs, and quality quilting. The research was conducted at barangay Patik, Sitog, Seres, Bulawan and Dabiak in the Municipality of Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte. Findings revealed that only square and circle are frequently utilized in materials, courtships, marriages, designs, and constructions. A livelihood program in the utilization of geometric shapes will be conducted in five barangays to enhance the skills of the indigenous people to improve their artworks in weaving and designing materials in the production of native products. It is also recommended to the young generations to adopt the technology to preserve their custom and traditions.
