BONBON-LIBON HANDICRAFT PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION (BONLIHAPA)
The Producers
BONLIHAPA was organized at almost the same time as BULHAPA. The core of the organization was a group of workers who were getting orders from a subcontractor who was the first elected president of the group.
Of the three groups in Libon, BONLIHAPA has the lowest volume of sale. It has also the least number of members, only 12 at present.
One advantage the group has, over the other groups in Libon, is its accessibility to a seagrass dryer built in 1997as a joint project among CCAP, BONLIHAPA, BULHAPA and the government's Forest Products Research and Development Institute.
A dyeing equipment was also constructed beside the dryer through the cooperation of the British Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO) and CCAP
Their Products
The products of BONLIHAPA are also seagrass-based and similar to those of BULHAPA. Often, orders are split between the two groups when the volume could not be accomplished in due time by only one group.
