The Producers
BULHAPA was registered with the government's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 24, 1996. From a group of 12, membership has since expanded to 21. The core of the group is composed of crafts folk that have been producing for a local supplier who had been making profit in the business as a middle man.

Most of the members are living along the road right of way of the provincial road. They do not own the lot on which their houses are built. Most of them are relying on handicraft as the main source of livelihood. Some of the families have small rice farms but the produce could not suffice for the consumption of the family. During lull periods of handicraft work, they work for wages in the rice fields planting or harvesting.

BULHAPA has the signal honor to be the first to put up a modest meeting place of its members and storage of finished products.

Their Products
The main raw material used by this group is the seagrass. Among their products are bottle holders, tom-tom baskets, place mats, trays, boxes, bags, etc.
