Child’s Play
Posted on December 26, 2006
I can still remember when I was still a kid, we used to play piko, hide and seek, tumbang preso, Nintendo Family Computer, Game and Watch, Snakes and Ladders, and all other games. But I was so surprised when I saw this young girl in her tender years, not playing the games I used to play. Instead I saw her sitting in the corner of their house as if weaving an intricate Yakan cloth. And she is not the only young Yakan who is doing this. I have seen 2 or 3 other young girls playing the role of fabric weaver.
After seeing all this, I believe that the colorful culture of the Yakan tribe will stay and live longer. The tradition of weaving colorful and intricate fabrics will last for another generation.
