Quilters never become old-fashioned, they just go into parts.

Ang paghahabi ay dala ng mga espanyol na nagkaroon ng kakilanlan sa ating mga Ilocano hindi lang dito sa Pilipinas kundi pati na rin sa ibang bansa. Nakilala ang lungsod ng Caoayan bilang “Home of the Abel Iloco” na ating pinagmamalaki, ngunit dahil sa modernisasyon unti-unting namamatay ang pagkakakilanlan at buhay ng Abel. Kaya dapat magkaroon ng aksyon ang local na gobyerno upang matugonan at mapreserve ang yaman ng Ilocano

Paggamit ng kasuotang Abel Iloco sa lahat ng empleyado ng probinsya upang mapayaman ang kultura at ekonomiya. Pagkakaroon ng abel iloco festival upang makilala ng buong probinsya Pagkakaroon ng asignatura sa pagtuturo kung paano mag abel sa mga Alternative Learning Systerm (ALS) o sa mga high school bilang Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) upang magkaroon ng kabuhayan o pagkakitaan ang lahat ng mga kabataan at mapa usbong ang papulasyon ng abel at panagabel. Dahil ayun sa lungsod ng Caoayan limang aktibong barangay nalang ang nag-aabel (Don Alejandro Quiroligico, Don Dimas Querubin, Don Lorenzo Querubin, Naguillian, Anonang Mayor) at lumiliit na ang kita nila dito. Iba na ang lasa ng karamihan, iba na ang tinatangkilik ng karamihan sa modern technological world.

Sabay sabay nating i-angat ang kultura na kinagisnan natin. Gamitin rin natin ang Ilocano language sa pakikipagtalas-tasan, ang abel iloco bilang kasuotan.

EFFECT OF ABEL ILOCO ON THE PROVINCE'S ECONOMY AS A LIVELIHOOD

"We look at life from the back side of the tapestry. And most of the time, what we see is loose threads, tangled knots and the like. But occasionally, God's light shines through the tapestry, and we get a glimpse of the larger design with God weaving together the darks and lights of existence." - John Piper

The weaving was brought by the Spaniards who had an identity among our Ilocanos here in the Philippines and abroad. Caoayan city is known as the "Home of the Abel Iloco" that we are proud of, but due to modernization Abel's identity and life are gradually dying out. So the local government must take action to address and preserve the wealth of the Ilocano.

Weaving is the intersecting method, one group of threads, the weft, the second group of threads, the warp, to produce a cloth, which can be used as a dress or any other form of clothing. It can also be used in making beautiful artwork. The warp is connected to the machine or the structure used to support the threads.

Using Abel Iloco clothing on all employees of the province to enrich the culture and economy and having Abel Iloco festival to be recognized by the whole province. They should be a subject to teach how to abel in Alternative Learning Systems (ALS) or in high schools as Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) to have a livelihood or income for all youth and map sprout the number of Abel and panagabel. Because according to the city of Caoayan, only five active barangays (Don Alejandro Quiroligico, Don Dimas Querubin, Don Lorenzo Querubin, Naguillian, Anonang Mayor) are declining, and their income is decreasing here. Most people have a different taste. Most people in the modern technological world enjoy something different.

Together, let us lift the culture we were born into. Let us also use the Ilocano language in communication and the Abel Iloco as clothing not just for beautification but also with pride for having such a product that can represent ourselves in the whole wide world.
