SALINTA MONON
Salinta Monon had watched her mother’s nimble
hands glide over the loom, weaving traditional
Bagobo textiles.
At 12, she presented herself to her mother.
At the age of 65, she can identify the design as well
as the author of a woven piece just by a glance.
She and her sister are the only remaining Bagobo
weavers in her community.
Her husband paid her parents a higher bride price.

Salinta has built a solid reputation for the quality of
her work and the intricacies of her designs.
It takes her 3 to 4 months to finish a fabric 3.5 m x 42
cm in length, or one abaca tube skirt per month.
She used to wear the traditional hand-woven tube
skirt of Bagobo, of which the sinukla and the bandura
were two of the most common types.
Her favorite is the binuwaya (crocodile) which is one
of the hardest to make.

She has her son to strip the abaca fibers for her.
When she has work to finish, Salinta isolates herself
from her family to ensure privacy and concentration in
her art.
She wants nothing better than to build a structure for
weaving, a place exclusively for the use of weavers.
She look forward to teaching young wives in her
community the art of weaving, for, despite the
increasing pressures of modern society.
Bagobo women are still interested in learning the art.

Salinta maintains a pragmatic attitude
towards the fact that she and her younger
sister may be the only Bagobo weavers left,
the last links to a colorful tradition among
their ancestors.
“If someone wants to learn, then I am
willing to teach.” she says. “If there is
none……, she shrugs off the though.
