Ilocano textile weaving is an enduring tradition that embodies the cultural heritage of the Ilocano community. Skilled weavers utilize the pangablan (traditional wooden looms) to create textiles with elaborate patterns and vibrant hues. The Inabel, renowned for its durability and aesthetic appeal, serves both practical and ceremonial purposes in Ilocano society. Through their weaving expertise, Ilocano artisans safeguard ancestral techniques and patterns, showcasing the creativity, artistry, and deep-rooted traditions of their community.

The inabel produced by Manlilikha ng Bayan Magdalena Gamayo is widely regarded as the finest. Her works boast an exceptionally high thread count and intricate patterns that incorporate up to five colors. The beauty of her inabel lies in the delicate yet uniform weave, making it truly incomparable. MG Gamayo's masterwork breathes life into her creations, and her unique art serves as a testament to the irreplaceable value of human skills and knowledge, surpassing anything machines could ever hope to achieve.

Join us in commemorating our Independence and patronize the finest of our cultural heritage as the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan takes part in the 2024 Likha happening from June 7 to June 11, 2024 at the PICC Forum 2 & 3 in Pasay City.
