00:00Kalabawo's blessings in Tuguegarao are not yet over.
00:04Bolo or Itak, which is used for the livelihood of fishermen and farmers,
00:09is still made in the part of Kalabawo.
00:20They won't be able to taste
00:23the taste of Panday.
00:26I'm going to use it.
00:29Are you going to buy that?
00:30I've been looking at it for a long time.
00:34Are you going to sell it?
00:35Yes.
00:36How much?
00:37Php 350.
00:38I'll buy it for you for Php 450.
00:48Decades have passed,
00:49the Panday has remained alive in this place.
00:53The life of this place is proved by the family of Tatay Andoy,
00:56who has been farming for four generations.
00:59There are a lot of people who farm here.
01:00There are only a few people who farm here,
01:02because there is no land to farm.
01:06There are farmers,
01:07that's why they have a sideline,
01:09but the Panday is the one who farms here.
01:12This is the hut that Tatay Andoy inherited from his grandfather.
01:17I've been doing this since I was in grade 6.
01:20My grandfather was from Ilocos.
01:22My father learned it from him.
01:26My father and I learned it from him.
01:31The Bolo industry of Tuguegarao
01:34started with the settlers from Ilocos Norte during the colonial period,
01:40when the Ilocans migrated to Cagayan and Tuguegarao.
01:47Barangay Larion Bajo in Tuguegarao
01:50is the home of a lot of panday.
01:54Their well-known product is a sturdy Bolo
01:57that has a handle made of Kalabaw's bamboo.
02:02Let's see how strong it is.
02:07At first, the vehicle was hit while passing through the bamboo.
02:14Later on,
02:16it was not only destroyed,
02:18but also paid for.
