VICTIMS of the late-year lethal storms that came through this country are still picking up the pieces. Literally and metaphorically, they have to rebuild their homes and their lives. Christmas is here, but it is not quite present in the normal way with them in their season of calamity.
Let me give you a report on Baras, Catanduanes, which was directly hit by Typhoon “Rolly” (international name: “Goni”) and then brushed by Typhoon “Ulysses.”
The Baras I know is an abaca-weaving community in the island of Catanduanes where fashion designer and HABI member (HABI: The Philippine Textile Council) Dita Sandico has been working with for some years now. They make beautiful bags and dress wraps of lovely colors of woven abaca, world-renowned fiber known as Manila hemp. They have abaca farms and also gather them from the wild. The typhoons left devastating damage to homes, public and private buildings and the people of Baras.
