I don't recall now Jeff. The demonstration I saw was in Central Luzon, near the former U.S. naval base, put on by the Aete people. I posted an article by Fox (PDF format) some time ago which talked a lot about native plants used in making bows and arrows, including the use of resins to affix arrow points. You will probably find something relevant in that article.
