Last December, I visited the "Rimat ti Amianan", a trade fair in La Union.I was amazed with these beautiful and unique hats that was displayed in one of the stalls. These stuffs are made abacca fibers, water lilies, a part from banana stalks and even from coconut leaves, etc.
That was Manong, an Ilocano entrepreneur, actually the products are from Laguna, but since he is also Ilocano, and he is the one making his own products he can join the trade fair. From the photo, he is showing me how he molds that hat which is made of abacca fibers.
If you like to buy from him, his next trade fair destination will be in Baguio for "Panagbenga" festival. Those hats prices range from P120 to P500. Since Manong will go up to Baguio for Panagbenga festival, buy his famous Philippine Handicrafts and after that go down to Bauang, La Union and visit also their nice and beautiful resorts and wear one of those pretty hats in your head!
