Visited the Lang Dulay Weaving Center in Lake Sebu. Lang Dulay was a 1998 Manlilikha ng Bayan (National Living Treasures) awardee recognized for her efforts in preserving T’boli weaving traditions.
Known as “dream weavers,” the T’boli receive the designs for their T’nalak, their traditional abaca textile, from Fu Dalu, the goddess of abaca, who visits them in their dreams.
In the video, our T’boli tour guide Bro. Jorie Sabal explains why those who the goddess visits must weave the designs she shows them.

The jail garden is part of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) program called Halina’t Magtanim ng Prutas at Gulay (HAPAG) sa Piitan.
The PDLs are taught natural farming methods. The garden produces different crops depending on the season.
The produce can be sold to fellow PDLs or jail personnel. If there’s a bumper crop, it can be sold outside the jail. Most of the time though, harvests are for the consumption of PDLs and jail personnel.
