Domain 5: Traditional Craftsmanship
Textiles in the Yakan Weaving Village, Zamboanga
The Yakans are an indigenous group that first settled in the Basilan Islands, where
traditional weaving began. Due to political unrest that resulted in armed conflicts between
militant Muslims and government soldiers in the 1970s and 1990s, the community was forced to
flee to Zamboanga City. Traditionally, fibers derived from pineapple and abaca plants were used
as weaving material. After that, the fabrics were dyed with extracts from leaves, roots, and barks.
The influence of Christian Filipinos and the American Peace Corps, as well as the growing
popularity of visitors from the Philippines and other countries, brought about changes in the
weaving process. Weavers began making other handwoven products using chemicals for
economic reasons and to improve customer experience.
What travel experience did you have in the Philippines that transform you into
appreciating being a Filipino?

I went to Bohol with my parents a few years ago and had a great time. Thankfully, we did,
and it couldn't have gone any better! Bohol is in the Visayas, about a 10-hour flight from
Plaridel. Bohol is a tropical natural beauty haven. The island's coastline is dotted with gentle
coves and white sand beaches. Your trip to Bohol will be incomplete unless you visit these
lovely hills. It is one of the best attractions on the island. I was surprised to see several hills
spread across Carmen's entire expanse. When I arrived, I was surprised to learn that the
Chocolate Hills Bohol entrance fee is only twenty-five pesos. This fee will get you to the
observation point, from which you can see all of the hills. The journey to the Chocolate Hills
takes forty minutes from Tagbilaran, the province's capital. It is difficult to find public
transportation to get to Carmen. We decided to visit Alona Beach on Panglao Island after some
deliberation. The entire island was very beautiful and peaceful. The Boholano ambiance is really
there to every place of the island, most specially the hospitality of the people. We found nice
accommodations and, of course, went to the beach. That is what has transformed me into
appreciating being Filipino. I did experience their culture by appreciating Filipino cultures,
foods, entertainment, sports, and so on, I realized that being a Filipino citizen is something to be
proud of. I grew up fantasizing about visiting, but I had no idea it would have such a profound
impact on who I am now. Traveling can help you understand in a variety of ways. Traveling will
open your eyes to the reality that the world is a collection of cultures, and alongside those
cultures, there is one accepted trait that we can discover, and that is RESPECT.
