Textiles of abaca fiber
The internal filaments are utilized as a part of the making of caps, including the "Manila caps," lofts, tangling, cordage, ropes, coarse twines, and sorts of canvas. It is called Manila hemp in the market in spite of the fact that it is dissimilar to genuine hemp, and is otherwise called Cebu hemp and Davao hemp. Abacá material is found in gallery accumulations around the globe, similar to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Textile Museum of Canada.[18][19]
Philippine indigenous tribes still weave abaca-based materials like t'nalak, made by the Tiboli tribe of South Cotabato, and dagmay, made by the Bagobo individuals. [20]
