Hibla ng Kultura: A Journey Through Abel Iloco

  Our journey began with the desire to understand something deeper, something more meaningful than just the act of weaving. We chose to study Abel weaving in Barangay Camangaan, not just because it was a craft, but because it was the lifeblood of the community’s cultural identity.

  First, we chose Barangay Camangaan because it has a strong history of Abel weaving. We then decided on the topic and assigned tasks to each group member. We split the work into interviews, surveys, and data analysis.

   Before diving into the heart of our interviews, we knew we had to understand the community that shaped this tradition. The community profile survey was our first step, an essential moment where we gathered data and insights into the lives of the people of Barangay Camangaan. It wasn’t just about numbers; it was about seeing the people who made Abel weaving what it was—a community bound together by thread and history.

 

   As the tasks were completed, our leader took the reins, organizing the results into a cohesive structure. Everything was checked, rechecked, and made ready for submission, ensuring we had every aspect covered. The sense of teamwork was palpable, each of us contributing to a greater whole.

 

   Then came the day of our presentation on February 3, 2025. The ICT room became our stage, where we stood in front of our classmates, ready to deliver our findings. It wasn’t just about presenting facts; it was about sharing the heartbeat of our culture. We spoke with passion and pride, delivering the story of Abel Iloco as though it were our own, naturally weaving together history, significance, and meaning.

   In this journey, it’s not just about finishing the task, but about the learning and teamwork along the way. Each step, from research to presentation, helped us understand the deeper meaning of Abel Iloco in our culture. It wasn’t just about speaking in front of the class; it was about sharing a piece of our heritage. Through this experience, we grew together as a team and realized how much our culture shapes who we are. The true success was in the journey itself.
