                    [Summary] => MAASIN, Iloilo – For Tagalogs, tultugan sounds like tugtugan or music-playing. But for Ilonggos, it refers to a bamboo instrument which natives long ago used for communications and well, for music too.


Bamboo, that large woody plant often used to characterize the Filipino’s resiliency in difficult times, abounds in this municipality 39 kilometers from Iloilo City. No wonder, a bamboo industry thrives in this town, with local folk crafting the best sawali mats, furniture and other home decor and handicrafts this side of the archipelago.
