                                                  Arts and Crafts

                              Abel-weaving is one of the few surviving traditional crafts in Vigan.

                              Historically, the high demand for the famous handwoven abel Iloco

                             nearly killed the Spanish weaving industry during the galleon trade era.

                                At least three (3) barangays in the city still have abel-weavers,

                                 best-known of which is Barangay Camangaan as it produces

                                  much of the local abel products available in Vigan’s souvenir

                                    shops located along the Crisologo Street and the Vigan

                                        Public Market. The other two (2) barangays with

                                             abel-weavers are Mindoro and San Pedro.

                       Abel-weaving involves the use of a wooden handloom and other accessories.

                            The wooden handloom was the equivalent of a sewing machine in the

                                  past, and it produced most of the fabrics used in the homes,

                                    including clothes, blankets, and pillowcases. The material

                                      used to make the abel fabrics was cotton yarn (sagut).

                                    As it is known, the northern Philippines, particularly, grew

                                     cotton plants whose flowers were then intricately and

l                                         engthily processed in the homes to produce yarn.

                                                  World Body Painting Competition

                                          body as the artist’s canvas.

                                          60% of the model’s body.

                                   The hair style must be part of the entire
