In commemoration of the 5th death anniversary of Manlilikha ng Bayan Yabing Masalon Dulo.

In her youth, Fu Yabing thrived in an environment rich with stimuli that nurtured her skills and creativity. As her generation extracted fibrous materials from the forest to weave, this art, in turn, reinforced the bond between nature and culture. Residing in starkly different conditions from her forested origins, among a community that once engaged in precise reciprocal relationships rather than market transactions, she continued a beautiful legacy. Yet, she consistently navigated the dissonance between systems by utilizing her talent: the masterful creation of fine warp ikat textiles.

The Mabal Tabih represents the textile artistry of the Blaan people, intricately woven from abacá fibers through elaborate techniques. Dyed with natural hues using the ikat method, it showcases geometric patterns that reflect Blaan culture and social structure. Traditionally woven by women of high status, this textile carries profound spiritual meaning, regarded as a divine gift from Fu Ralu, the weaving deity. Beyond skirts, the tabih serves as garments and sacred coverings, embodying centuries of Blaan artistry and heritage.
