Technology Helps IP Group Teach Weaving to Youth
- Since 2023, a women’s indigenous group in Occidental Mindoro led by Rosita Montajes has utilized technology to teach young people the traditional craft of weaving.
- They requested assistance after young people showed little interest in traditional weaving, leading to support from a government science agency and the introduction of handlooms.
- More than 20 young women now operate handlooms to produce textiles and shawls rapidly, and the group provides training to high school students while fulfilling university orders.
- Montajes said the group earns about P40,000 monthly but worries traditions may vanish as "children were not interested" and elders fear loss once they are gone.
- This adoption of technology aims to sustain cultural heritage by passing weaving skills to youth and supporting their community economically amid declining traditional interest.
