""CLOTH WEAVING"" This is one living tradition that is kept and preserved until the present. Existed since the pre-colonial times, this art done by the Cordillera tribes from the North is still being done even though a threat of more practical and convenient mass production of cloth is already discovered. To make this, a back strap loom is being used by the natives in order to create a very well-done product purely made of their hands. One example is the Pinya Cloth of Antique, a fragile and superb hand woven cloth made of fibers that can be extracted from the leaves of a pineapple plant. The Philippine national costume for men, Barong Tagalog, is a famous product out of Pineapple cloth.
