ANGADANAN, Isabela- The local government unit of Angadanan has showcased its One-Town-One Product (OTOP) made out of bamboo during the 5th Gakit Festival held last April 12 to 15, 2012. | |||
Angadanan Mayor Maria Lourdes Panganiban said the municipal government of Angadanan is looking at its town’s potentials and wanted that the Angadanan women will become economically productive with the bamboo craft production as the primary livelihood project in the locality. | |||
The products were conceptualized by the local government when the town officials have seen bamboo trees that are vastly grown in the town. | |||
Panganiban said bamboo tree is a raw material best for bamboo craft production and it is open for cutting unlike forest trees that are usually for furniture products, which are now prohibited to be cut by the government nowadays. | |||
In order to sustain the bamboo supply for the OTOP, the local government unit has launched a massive planting of bamboo in the locality particularly at the creeks and river banks. | |||
“We need to secure supply of bamboo in the future once the industry become in demand in the local and even in international market," Panganiban said. | |||
Bamboo craft like sala set, tables, lamp shades, trophies, baskets, souvenir items, and other products are produced for sale in local market. | |||
