                    [Summary] => KALIBO, Aklan – The local weaving industry has been given a "shot-in-the-arm" in the form of new technologies infused by the government.


Where before local cloth weavers used traditional techniques  in their trade, now they have adopted improved processes introduced by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).


Moreover, the revival of the natural dye industry in the fashion world has influenced many weaving firms in the province to explore dye-yielding plants as source of dye for fabrics.
