00:00The quality is so good when it's made in the Philippines.
00:03You're right, bro.
00:04It's not just the materials that we use there, brother Oscar.
00:08We're really lucky.
00:10And we were blessed with those kinds of things
00:12that not only here, but also in the whole world,
00:15can be grown.
00:17That's the story of Marisol Abdurrahman.
00:24Is it compatible with the Hibla?
00:25The cow won't be caught yet.
00:27In fact, the Philippines is one of the countries
00:29that supplies 80% of the cows in the world
00:32according to the Philippine Fiber Industry Development and Authority or PILFIDA.
00:38They also don't throw anything here,
00:39especially the Hibla that are left by the cows.
00:46It's saved for decoration.
00:48From Albay, 21-year-old Johan Gantam is buying the Hibla of the cows in Camarinesur.
00:59For Php90 per kilo,
01:01he can make more than 7 meters of Abakas Crunch.
01:06He also makes various decorations from Abakas Crunch
01:09such as basket, abanico, and others.
01:12Our business started in 2016.
01:18From the Abaka fibers,
01:19we cut it to make it shorter by 19 inches.
01:23After that, we slice it to separate and remove the fibers.
01:29We lay it on a table with 5 yards length and a plastic.
01:36He will lay it manually and put the Abaka fibers
01:40until the Abakas Crunch is complete.
01:43After laying a plastic,
01:44we rub it to spread the water mixture on all parts of the Abaka fibers.
01:50Then, we take it off and put it on a net to heat it up and dry it easily.
01:56It takes 1-2 hours to dry the Abakas Crunch.
02:02Of the more than 30 fiber crops in the Philippines,
02:04Abaka is the strongest Hibla,
02:06according to the agriculturalist, Raymarc Reynes.
02:10Every month, we need to maintain it.
02:12The first step of harvesting Abaka is called tumbling.
02:15This is the process of weighting or weighting the banana.
02:18The next step is toxaying or opening the skin of the Abaka.
02:22The next step is stripping or pulling the Abaka
02:25to remove the fiber.
02:27He will just peel it within a day.
02:29Once it is dry, the fiber will be used.
02:33We sell a piece of Abaka Scans
02:36that has a solid color for 65 pesos
02:39and a tricolor for 75 pesos.
02:41I buy this Scran
02:43for my grandchildren to use for school projects
02:46because it is cheap and it is only Hibla.
02:49Abaka is important in my life and in the life of my family
02:52because this is what gives us life
02:54and this is where I can finish my studies.
02:58A farmer or a student like Joanne
03:00is responsible for managing the Abaka industry
03:03of more than 200,000 families in the Philippines,
03:06according to the Philippines.
03:08That is why it is important to maintain the quality
03:10of each Hibla that they produce
03:12and the product that they grow.
