Thanks Ferdz for taking the lead to SHOW the magnificent HAND WEAVING craftmanship of OUR TRIBE YAKAN. As i am reading the captions of your pics and passing thru the comments of our fellow filipinos, I am surprise about their impressions on our hand weaving products. Hand weaving is a heirloom passed on from one generetion to another. Honestly speaking, only few of our young generation today knew how to weave. Our Yakan Village in Zamboanga is our only visible hope on the faith of this craftmanship. Same with our hope to those tourists who are supposed to visit our village and buy our handmade products but threatened by their INSURANCE company and Embassy NOT TO GO because of the peace and order situations of the city.... Tourist is our inspiration, we weave finest, intricate, colorful, unpatterned cloth in the hope of bringing our unique ALLAH's (GOD) given talent to the world, without them, im afraid, that maybe someday the anxiousness of keeping this craftmanship will unnoticely die. I AM A YAKAN, my husband and my family. We know what is this to us. In times of adversity, I know one must stand and take the lead to expand and bring this out of our old context as our local government right now is taking the lead on sending us to participate on trade fairs and expo to bring our local products across the region while I am taking the lead to bring this around the world. To fellow filipinos, you can find these products available at ebay.ph with our store name bidnbuyalot. Or simply visit our site www.zambobartergoods.multiply.com...Thanks....LONG LIFE IYAKAN!
