NATIONAL HERITAGE MONTH
Piña is a traditional textile woven by hand from fibers extracted from the leaves of the pinya Bisaya pineapple. The craft involves harvesting and hand-extracting the fiber, which are measured using traditional methods with old coins.
Knowledge and skills in piña weaving are passed down through families and Schools of Living Traditions established by local communities and the government to preserve the practice.
