mission to enrich communities

Daily Malong is on a mission to enrich communities, share our culture and discover new connections.

And for the month of October, we celebrate Indigenous People's month by taking a look at some of the weaving identities that Daily Malong has continually supported and enriched.

Weaving in the Philippines dates back to the 13th century. It is considered as an artform perfected and passed on generation to generation. And in a country with a vibrant and diverse culture, weaving has evolved as a defining cultural identity of many indigenous communities.

Today, there are about 450 weaving groups across the Philippines spread out across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Weaves typically make use of locally available materials such as cotton, fibers, abaca, and pineapple.
