TWIN CELEBRATIONS. Inabanga will attempt to post a world record of the longest hand-woven fabric with its 1.8 kilometer raffia unveiling tomorrow. The event also coincides with their annual feastday of patron St. Paul the Apostle. Street dancing, raffia designer’s fashion show will highlight the festivities. Last year’s Sandugo Showcase revealed the raffia becoming Bohol’s most promising product that raked in P40M in gross sales and orders making it the fair’s top-seller.

Mayor Jose Jono Jumamoy will lead local officials in the momentous event, together with civic, church leaders that will all be wearing shirts and gowns made of raffia.

The event is expected to generate world attention during its unrolling as it will be the first and a record breaking fete featuring an indigenous and locally woven fabric.
