The abaca industry is intertwined with the history of Camalig. Since the
Spanish times until about the 1970s,
Camalig was identified with abaca
home industries, from abaca slippers, placemats, sinamay to quality abaca
fibers. Abaca contributed much to the prosperity of the town. And the town
had just the right topography, climate, soil and farmers for healthy abaca
cultivation.
The art of abaca weaving has been
long developed in
Albay and
Camarines Sur.
