To support local artisans and preserve traditional crafts, the Department of Trade and Industry Iloilo Provincial Office formally turned over a shared service facility for pandan weaving to the Baje Weavers Association in a ceremony at the Baje Livelihood Center in Leon, Iloilo.
The turnover was led by DTI Iloilo Provincial Director Ma. Dinda R. Tamayo, joined by staff members Supervising Trade-Industry Development Specialist Engr. Jonathan T. Tejida, Trade-Industry Development Specialist Shayne G. Jornadal, Trade-Industry Development Analyst Anelyn L. Apiag, and Charie Joy T. Taganos, business counselor of Negosyo Center Leon.
In her remarks, Tamayo emphasized the facility’s role in strengthening micro-enterprises and boosting the productivity of community-based industries.
She praised the Baje Weavers for their perseverance despite challenges such as poor road conditions and limited access to transportation.
The event’s highlight was the symbolic handover of the facility to the association.
BWA President Susan Gadian accepted the facility on the group’s behalf and thanked DTI for its continued support.
“This facility will be a great help to us in improving the quality and quantity of our woven products,” Gadian said.
“With this opportunity, we are truly grateful.”
The upgraded facility is expected to increase the Baje Weavers Association’s output, enhance product quality, and broaden its market reach.
