Manila hemp, ano yun? Banana tree yan, pero ang liit? hindi wari.🤔 Ah abaka pala eri! Nakikita ko lang dati iyan sa garden pero ngayon wala na. Madami palang produkto ang pwedeng gawin dito mula lubid hanggang palamuti sa bahay ay pwedeng gawin mula dito. Bakit nga ba wala na akong nakikitang Abaka, mayroon ba dyan sa may inyo? Ayan nga nakabasa pa ako ng article sa internet patungkol dito: Republic Act Number 1563 (Congress of the Philippines 16th of June, 1956) An Act Providing for the Establishment of an Abaca Seed Farm in the Municipality of Boac, Marinduque, and Authorizing the Appropriation of Funds for the Purposes. Mayroon din isang article, hindi ko na isinalin sa tagalog masarap kasi pakinggan kapag ingles this time: Abaka is a sort or specie of native banana which is being harvested because of its fiber. With the use of the fiber that people can get from abaka, they can produce more high quality products like lampshades, chairs, accessories, furniture, baskets, slipper and some others. Generally, these products are handmade and can be done manually by most of the skillful people. Mayroon pa kaya na nagawa ng ganitong mga produkto? From Arabic word "abaq", abaca or known as Manila hemp.
