MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS ON MAT


WEAVING IN THE PHILIPPINES:

Mat Industry in Apalit, Province of Pampanga, Luzon


Patricio C. Gozum

There are two principal causes for the development of mat industry in Apalit : first is
the supply of labor, and second, the proximity of material. 1. __________ industry is
appropriately called home industry of the Apalit mothers and women. In general,
2. __________ girls learn the job at a very early age. It has been the custom there,
especially among the poor and middle classes, with the exception of the very few rich
families, that 3. ___________ woman who does not know how to make mats is very lazy
and is not one whom the Apalit young men regard with much respect. Thus the women who
work primarily to increase 4. __________ family income and those who learn the industry
to gain the respect of the people, form the aggregate labor for the development of
5. __________ industry. The increased demand for mats has recently encouraged the mat
weavers.

The material used is the leaves of the buri palm. The plant grows abundantly in
Arayat ; but the facility of transportation is such that, though 6. __________ plant does not
thrive well in Apalit, the weavers can get their materials
easily. The Pampanga River serves as 7. __________ easy means for taking the buri leaves
to Apalit with but very slight expense in comparison with what the weavers get for their
finished mats. The green leaves sink, but they can easily be made to float by using
8. __________ banca (boat) of considerable size across which are fastened bamboo poles
to which in turn are attached the heavy buri leaves. Then they float and are carried along
the river by the current from Arayat down to Apalit where they are distributed to
9. __________ industrious women and girls.
In 10. __________ industry, there is also a division of labor. The women cannot
leave the homes and go to Arayat to get the material, so the men who can save time from
their blacksmithing or farming have to go and get it.
Nowadays there are 11. __________ men who usually go to buy the buri leaves and
sell them when they go to Apalit, getting thus some profit for their enterprise. The boys or
husbands of 12. __________ weavers take the leaves in bulk to their homes, strip them
from their stems and remove the ribs. The women and children then do the rest of the work
until mats ready for market are made. The buri left in the sunshine until it is dry. As soon as
it is dry, it is rolled up so that 13. __________ curled parts will become straight or flat. Now
it is ready to be cut into narrow long strips to be woven into mats. The mats thus made are
called diawa. Oftentimes, they first boil 14. __________ buri with water mixed with vinegar
before they dry, roll, and strip it. The mats thus made with this boiled buri are called linaga,
distinguished from diawa in that the former is very white while 15. __________ latter is
greyish.

An independent, or coordinate, clause is a clause that expresses a complete thought and
can stand alone.

A dependent, or subordinate, clause is a clause that does not express a complete thought
and cannot stand alone.

Example: Curt called his father who was still at work.

In the example, Curt called his father is an independent clause. It would be a complete
sentence without anything else added to it. The clause who was still at work is a
dependent clause. It does not express a complete thought and is not a complete sentence.

Directions: Below are sentences with a clause underlined. On the blank before each item,
write whether the underlined clause is independent or dependent.

Example: Curt called his father who was still at work. Asnwer: dependent
