 Paglalala o weaving kanilang ikinabubuhay Paraan ng
paggawa nito ay hindi easy lang Mahabang pasensiya
ay tunay ngang kailangan Upang ganda ng akda ay
iyong matunghayan.

Unang hakbang ay ang pagkuha nitong halaman Sumunod nito’y

pagtanggal ng mga parteng hindi kailangan Bubugkusin ito at ibibilad
sa araw
Hanggang ang tuyong kulay nito ay kanila nang masilayan.

Kung sa palagay mo’y tapos na ang paghahanda

Aking anak, nagkakamali ka,
Sapagkat pagkatapos ng mga naunang hakbang, Narito
ang ilan pang kailangang maisakatuparan

Pagpapalpag o pounding ang susunod na gagawin Upang

ang naturang materyales ay mapalambot din Pagtitina ang
susunod na hakbangin
Nang mas gumanda ang likha at presyo nito’y tumaas din.

Saka pa lamang masisimulan ang paglalala Kung ang mga

naturang hakbang ay naisagawa na Husay sa pagdisenyo,
isinasa-alang alang din
Mula rito’y mababanaag ang mensaheng nais iparating

Mga Pilipinong mula sa mga Rehiyon ng MIMAROPA at Visayas Salamat

sa mga katangiang Pilipinong inyong ipinamalas Masisipag at matitiyaga
sa kabila ng hirap
Mga katangiang Pilipino, batid ng halos ng lahat.

 Basey, Samar
Mat weaving is an old cottage industry of
Basey, Samar. These arts and crafts are
made from tikog, a reed grass that grows in
swampy areas along the rice fields. Women
of Basey, Samar usually do their weaving
under the caves because the cool atmosphere
makes the tikog less brittle, thus making it
easier for them to weave sleeping mats.

Activity 5: “Basket Weaving”
There are different types of basket weaving. These types vary on the kind of
materials used in weaving. According to Catherine Erdly, the four types of weaving
are:

● Coiled basketry, using grasses, rushes and pine needles

● Plaiting basketry, using materials that are wide and ribbon-like such as palms,
coconut leaves and the likes.
● Twining basketry, using materials from roots and tree bark. This is a weaving
technique where two or more flexible weaving elements ("weavers") cross each
other as they weave through the stiffer radial spokes.
● Wicker and Splint basketry, using reed, cane, willow, oak, and ash
