“With the help of 6 to 10 people, in coordination with ARC Daguit Labo, Camarines Norte, nito vines from the mountains and his talent, they were able to produce these decorative lamps that will surely add color, and feel to your homes and offices.” cited Ms. Cora Quiozon, Provincial Marketing Assistance officer of the department of agrarian reform.

Using a metal frame as the base of the lamp, the vines are then twined together. And with a touch of a varnish and adding a cloth lining, completes the lamp’s set up that has turned out to be a masterpiece.
