THE IMPORTANCE OF WEAVING AND ITS CONTRIBUTIONS
The Philippines cultural heritage is rich and undeniably unique. It is generally a mixture of our own indigenous culture intertwined with those of our colonizers. Our archipelago is divided into several regions one of which is Ilocos with a well preserved heritage. This includes the production of Abel Iloco, which takes unique designs and colors into account aside from just simple weaving. This rigorous craft is a combination of the weaver’s eye for the intricate design and their inventiveness on the techniques of counting thread in the weaving process.

Our culture and traditions form our identities and contribute to the vibrant variety of human life. In order to keep it alive, we must bring cultural preservation into light. It provides Filipinos a sense of unity and belonging. This mostly relies on our forefathers to pass on cultural heritage to the new generation. This is currently at risk today due to busy, modern lifestyles and social responsibilities. Despite this, cultural heritage is a constitutional right that we should protect.
