OTOP: Handloom weaving

Description:

            Handloom weaving is a process where thread that makes up the warp and weft are interwoven in an upright loom by one or two weavers. Handloom woven products are blankets, pillowcases and towels. Handloom woven products are widely accepted in the Philippines. Wholesalers from other regions come to the place to buy products. Handloom weaving had been the main pre-occupation of the people of Bangar for a long time. It is here where the exquisitely hand-woven blankets, towels and pillow cases emanate. Bangar has been known to be the weaving center of Ilocandia.
