Tagolwanen Women Weavers Association Inc. Review

Submitted by sandy on Sat, 11/12/2022 - 18:28
Description

Tagolwanen Women Weavers Association (TWWA) advocates for the continued legacy of the Bukidnon-Tagoloanen's Ikam (mat weaving) tradition. Its showroom in Malaybalay showcases the intricately woven products on display and for sale. The association was founded by Amihan-Lorie Rago Marte, together with her husband Anilaw Inalantong - Erwin Marte - one of the Bukidnoon-Tagoloanen tribe leaders. The idea for the nonprofit was born when the couple received an Ikam mat during their wedding. Ikam is usually given as currency or as a traditional gift for milestone ceremonies. When the couple saw the interest of the community in their indigenous craftsmanship wane, they put up the organization to reignite interest and promote the products and craftsmanship through social entrepreneurship. Today, contributes livelihood to the weavers while promoting the real value of their craft. People can bring home the meaningful artisanal products by buying a banig, placemat, coaster, accessory, bag and more - which are sold at the showroom together with OTOP products like coffee, honey, and turmeric.
