Textile weaving in Benguet is a traditional craft proudly practiced by the Ibaloi and Kankana-ey women of the Cordillera. Using a simple backstrap loom secured around the weaverβs hips, they hand-weave strong cloth from natural fibersβtwisted by hand on the thigh and dyed with plants such as indigo, turmeric, and morinda. The finished pieces feature meaningful patterns like zigzags for mountains and βeyesβ for protection and abundance.
These textiles include ceremonial blankets, tapis skirts, and traditional menβs garments. More than just fabric, they represent cultural identity, family stories, and important life eventsβfrom birth to death. Passed down through generations, this living heritage continues to connect us to our roots.
Letβs weave protection towards Benguet tradition.

The Kayabang is a traditional bamboo or rattan basket used by the Ibaloi and Kankana-ey women of Benguet, Philippines. Historically, it was designed as a rugged agricultural tool for navigating steep mountain trails. Unlike typical backpacks, it is carried using a braided head strap (epid), which shifts the weight of heavy loads to the forehead, leaving the weaver's hands free for climbing or manual labor.
Kayabang's primary use is to transport root crops, vegetables, and rices from mountain farms to local markets. Beyond its functional role in carrying firewood or farm produce, the Kayabang has become a powerful cultural symbol of the Cordillera region. Today, it represents the industry and resilience of Benguet women and is frequently featured in local festivals to showcase the province's abundant harvests.
