Acquisition-Amelioration-Aspiration: Examining the Interwoven Paths of Traditional Weavers

Abstract

Abstract This study explored the skill acquisition of the current weavers in Argao, Cebu. Through a Descriptive-Qualitative approach, the researchers interviewed ten informants selected using purposive sampling. Data was gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings highlighted three main themes that shaped skill acquisition: Acquisition, Amelioration, and Aspiration. Weaving, in this context, was not merely a form of employment—it sustained community culture and economy. The study concluded that weaving is a skill transmitted through families, with supportive environments enhancing proficiency and economic viability, underlining its dual significance as a source of livelihood and a valuable cultural tradition. The researchers recommend community-based programs that offer training and resources for weavers. In addition, weaving should be integrated into the art curriculum to recognize its cultural and artistic significance. Such initiatives would ensure the sustainability of traditional weaving practices while offering greater economic opportunities for weavers and their families. By investing in these approaches, Argao can preserve its cultural legacy while providing vital livelihood opportunities for its people. Keywords: Weaving, Skill Acquisition, Interwoven Paths, Traditional Weaving, Process of Weaving
