WATERLILY FESTIVAL

 

Water lilies are known to thrive in bodies of water, growing up to a

height of 40 inches. While they also provide useful organisms to underwater

 life, they multiply rather quickly and as such, clog waterways, block

 drainage systems, and cause floods.

 

But these pesky water lilies, once seen as aquatic nuisances that

 would cause the Prinza River in Las Piñas to overflow now have

an alternative use. Under the Livelihood Skills Program of the

Water Lily Weaving Project of the Villar Foundation, water

lilies are being made into handicrafts, launch livelihood projects

 and used as an effective tool to rehabilitate the very

communities it they once adversely affected.

 

 

 

 

The Water Hyacinth Weaving Enterprise, which provides

 livelihood to over 200 families, was set up by the

Villar Foundation and is given a boost during the

day-long Water Lily Festival in July. The water

hyacinths bear lily-like flowers, which has moved

 locals to call it water lily.

 

To clear the Las Piñas River of this aquatic pest,

residents harvest them and dry the stalks, which become

 the raw material for producing baskets, trays, slippers,

and other functional and ornamental items. The Festival

 features demonstrations on basket weaving, variety

 shows participated in by home-grown talents, trade fair

featuring products made from water hyacinths as well

as other products from the various barangay livelihood projects.
