00:00The quality is so good when it's made in the Philippines.

00:03You're right, bro.

00:04It's not just the materials that we use there, brother Oscar.

00:08We're really lucky.

00:10And we were blessed with those kinds of things

00:12that not only here, but also in the whole world,

00:15can be grown.

00:17That's the story of Marisol Abdurrahman.

00:24Is it compatible with the Hibla?

00:25The cow won't be caught yet.

00:27In fact, the Philippines is one of the countries

00:29that supplies 80% of the cows in the world

00:32according to the Philippine Fiber Industry Development and Authority or PILFIDA.

00:38They also don't throw anything here,

00:39especially the Hibla that are left by the cows.

00:46It's saved for decoration.

00:48From Albay, 21-year-old Johan Gantam is buying the Hibla of the cows in Camarinesur.

00:59For Php90 per kilo,

01:01he can make more than 7 meters of Abakas Crunch.

01:06He also makes various decorations from Abakas Crunch

01:09such as basket, abanico, and others.

01:12Our business started in 2016.

01:18From the Abaka fibers,

01:19we cut it to make it shorter by 19 inches.

01:23After that, we slice it to separate and remove the fibers.

01:29We lay it on a table with 5 yards length and a plastic.

01:36He will lay it manually and put the Abaka fibers

01:40until the Abakas Crunch is complete.

01:43After laying a plastic,

01:44we rub it to spread the water mixture on all parts of the Abaka fibers.

01:50Then, we take it off and put it on a net to heat it up and dry it easily.

01:56It takes 1-2 hours to dry the Abakas Crunch.

02:02Of the more than 30 fiber crops in the Philippines,

02:04Abaka is the strongest Hibla,

02:06according to the agriculturalist, Raymarc Reynes.

02:10Every month, we need to maintain it.

02:12The first step of harvesting Abaka is called tumbling.

02:15This is the process of weighting or weighting the banana.

02:18The next step is toxaying or opening the skin of the Abaka.

02:22The next step is stripping or pulling the Abaka

02:25to remove the fiber.

02:27He will just peel it within a day.

02:29Once it is dry, the fiber will be used.

02:33We sell a piece of Abaka Scans

02:36that has a solid color for 65 pesos

02:39and a tricolor for 75 pesos.

02:41I buy this Scran

02:43for my grandchildren to use for school projects

02:46because it is cheap and it is only Hibla.

02:49Abaka is important in my life and in the life of my family

02:52because this is what gives us life

02:54and this is where I can finish my studies.

02:58A farmer or a student like Joanne

03:00is responsible for managing the Abaka industry

03:03of more than 200,000 families in the Philippines,

03:06according to the Philippines.

03:08That is why it is important to maintain the quality

03:10of each Hibla that they produce

03:12and the product that they grow.
