Twenty members of the Mamanwa tribe in Barangay Camp Edward, Alegria, Surigao del Norte receive training in handicraft making through the partnership of the Department of Trade and Industry and the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples. The indigenous people were trained to produce mats, bags, baskets and other handcrafted products using indigenous materials growing prominently in the area, such as abaca, rattan strips (lagus) and golden sika (sayabay).
