00:00For the online content, two men swept the cat in the sea in Albay.
00:06In the video, you thought that the man was just petting the cat,
00:10but he suddenly swept it to the sea.
00:13The man is now held by the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office.
00:17He is also with the person who is filming.
00:20They are both minors, but they will still be punished by the local government.
00:25The cat was turned over to the barangay officials.
00:28It turned out to be a cat with a bump.
00:31The culture of having a hobby in the country is alive and well.
00:35This is proven by various brands and products that are proudly Pinoy-made, but world-class.
00:41Mico Wahe has a report.
00:46Like that?
00:47Luca or slip-on?
00:49Color? There are many choices.
00:53This is Lakat Sustainables.
00:55Lakat is an Ilonggo word, which means walk.
01:01Did you know that pine trees are colored from pineapples and are Pinoy-made?
01:06This is made out of pineapple blend, which we process the thread itself.
01:12We get our pineapple from Negros.
01:15Also, our cotton is from Negros.
01:17Then, we process it into a yarn.
01:19Once it is made into a yarn, we send it back to our partner weavers in Negros.
01:26And then, they weave it.
01:29And then, after that, we assemble it here in Manila.
01:31Locally-made shoes cost Php 4,000, depending on the class.
01:35This is included in the exhibit at the 14th Lekhang Hobby Market Fair in Makati City.
01:40There are also clothes, balabal, bags, and more.
01:44Monica was given a dress at the top, which was also told by the Negros.
01:49This is from Oringao, and this is from Caban Calan.
01:53And then, the hand-woven trim is hand-woven by the Marana Weavers.
01:59When we started the fair, it's really to have an opportunity for the weaver to get to market.
02:05And we want to help the really small grassroot weavers.
02:08There is no such thing as a dying culture of weaving.
02:12Maybe before, it was dying, but now, people all over the world are really reviving their old heritage crafts.
02:20There's a lot of people who are interested in weaving.
02:23A lot of the textiles use chemical dyes, which is not sustainable and not good for the environment.
02:28So, we're promoting natural dyes.
02:30They use anything from buko to achuete, to achuete, like turmeric also.
