The Last Bagobo Weaver

Salinta Monon a Tagabawa-Bagobo weaver from Bansalan, Davao del Sur. She learned how to weave from her mother at the age of 12. She quickly learned the art of weaving through her ardent desire to excel in the art of her ancestors. She developed a keen eye for the traditional designs, and just by a glance she can easily identify the design and the author of a woven piece. All her life she has woven continuously, she and her sister are the only remaining Bagobo weavers in her community. She was a GAMABA (Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan) 1998 awardee.
