| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc - "Rara is the art and tradition on weaving mats; rara buri is how the Ati of Marikudo, Isabela, Negros Occidental, will call the weaving of buri palm mats. Darara is the large mat for rice grains that was rara-om or woven by a Maranao expert pararara, tarara or mat weaver. The Tagbanuwa of Aborlan, Palawan, will say "rara it ikamen," while the Ilocano from Bangui Peninsula will say "agrara ti ikamen" to refer to weaving pandan mats. A Capiznon from Dumalag takes pride in their rara or the weaving of banban with traditional patterns.
Banig or mats are the end-products of rara, a process of creative and artistic manipulation which makes use of long strips of palm, leaf, vine, and even branches that are combined to make the mats supple, durable, and easy to use." - from the Introduction
