The Producers
This group was formed upon the suggestion of the Mayor of Libon and was registered in 1997 with the SEC. The formation had the active participation of village officials led by the barangay captain. Among the three groups in Libon, DELROHAPA is the latest to be organized but obviously more progressive in terms of earnings and membership. Of the Libon seagrass handicraft producers, it has the biggest sales for 1998.

Very recently DELROHAPA has put up a modest place as headquarters where they could meet and hold office. They put this up as a project using the sales rebates they received from CCAP. They also have a dyeing equipment constructed through the assistance of VSO and CCAP.


Their Products
Like the two other groups in Libon, DELROHAPA has also seagrass as the main raw material for their products. The members of the group do not buy their raw materials as other members of the family gather seagrass from the lake nearby which becomes as their supplementary source of income.
