FILIPINO IDENTITY on a REMOTE ISLAND IN TAWI TAWI - Women Weavers of Mapun, Philippines

THE JAMA MAPUN ARE KEEPING THEIR CULTURE AND TRADITION ALIVE THROUGH WEAVING...

What an amazing and enlightening experience to visit Janeth Hanapi and the women weavers of Barangay Erok Erok on the island of Mapun in Tawi Tawi. I fist met Janeth in Manila at a cultural weaving exhibition, and decided then I would love to visit Mapun. And so I did. In this video we take a look at their incredible "Tipo" weaving. For the Jama Mapun, not only is it a reminder of their identity, but it also is a big part of their lives. I visit a house, and see how the banig are used for sleeping... yup, you can see them in homes all over the island.

Travelling across the Philippines to the remote island of Mapun to see this... and to support the community!

POWER ON!
