Hindi maipagkakailang hitik ang lalawigan ng Ilocos Norte sa mga pamanang tradisyon at kultura. Bukod sa samuโ€™t-saring pagkaing lubos na ipinagmamalaki at sa mga paniniwalang isinalin pa ng ating mga ninuno, mayaman din ang probinsya sa ibaโ€™t-ibang natatanging produkto tulad ng mga bag, sombrero, mga kasuotan at iba pang kagamitan na hango sa telang ipinagmamalaki ng probinsya.

Sa pagpilantik ng mga daliri, galaw ng mga paa, at malumanay na paggabay sa habihan, isang obra maestra ang mano-manong nililikha โ€” ang ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—น. Sa bayan ng ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜, ๐—œ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฒ, paglilikha ng magagarang disenyo ng ๐—•๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ผ๐—น ang pangunahing produkto at hanapbuhay ng mga mamamayan nito. Dito nabibigyang-halaga ang pagkakakilanlan ng ibaโ€™t-ibang inihabing produkto at nabibigyang buhay ang patuloy na paglago at pagyabong ng kulturang Ilokano.

Sa bawat nililikhang produkto, may ikinukubling makabuluhang kwento. Sa bawat malumanay na paghahabi, unti-unti rin nitong napagtatagpi-tagpi ang makulay na identidad, sining, at kultura ng bawat Pilipino. Mariin nitong pinagtitibay ang pira-pirasong sinulid ng kasaysayan โ€” pinaiigting ang tatag ng paghahabi sa kasalukuyang panahon.

Ngunit sa pag-usbong ng makabagong teknolohiya at produksyon, saan nga ba lulugar ang mga produktong sumisimbolo sa ating pagkakakilanlan?

Sa gitna ng hamong ito, isinilang ang ๐—ž๐—ผ๐—น๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ o mas kilala rin bilang ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐— ๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ na matatagpuan sa ๐—•๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ, ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ, ๐—ฃ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐Ÿฒ, ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ฎ๐—ป, ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜, ๐—œ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฒ kung saan nililikha ang samuโ€™t-saring abel at binakol na produkto. Itinatag noong 2009 upang mapanatili ang tradisyon ng paghahabi kasabay ng pagpapanatili sa ating sining at kultura. Lingid pa rito, layunin din nitong bigyang silong ng pag-asa at tapat na pagkukunan ng pangkabuhayan ang mga kababaihang manghahabi ng bayan. Sa pamamagitan din nito, nakikilala sa buong mundo ang kuwento ng makulay nating tradisyon, sining, at kultura.

Hindi madaling mag-isip, lumikha, at magbenta. Ngunit sa pamamagitan ng Kolhabi, nananatili ang dagitab ng isang manghahabi โ€” patuloy na lilikha ng mga produktong hindi lamang maipagmamalaki, bagkus, magpapatuloy sa kuwento ng tradisyon at kultura ng lalawigan.

Bilang bahagi ng ating pagkakakilanlan, nararapat lamang na ang mga produktong itoโ€™y ating linangin, paunlarin, payabungin, at higit sa lahat tangkilikin. ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ต๐—ฎ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜†๐—ฎ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜†-๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ธ๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ.

For generations, the intricate patterns of Binakol weaving have reflected the artistry, culture, and identity of Sarrat, Ilocos Norte. Behind every woven masterpiece are skilled artisans whose dedication keeps this treasured tradition alive. Today, under the leadership of Ms. Sharon B. Justo, Chairperson of San Jose Multipurpose Cooperative (San Jose MPC), the legacy of Binakol continues to thrive while creating meaningful livelihood opportunities for the community.

Ms. Justo's journey with San Jose MPC began in 2001, when she joined the cooperative as a seller in its consumer store. Through years of dedication, continuous learning, and commitment to serving its members, she steadily took on greater responsibilities and, in 2024, was elected as the cooperative's Chairperson. Today, she leads San Jose MPC in strengthening its operations while preserving the rich tradition of Binakol weaving.

Taking on the role of Chairperson came with challenges. The cooperative had to respond to changing market demands, strengthen its operations, maintain consistent production, and preserve the traditional art of Binakol weaving. Guided by teamwork, innovation, and a shared commitment to the community, Ms. Justo continues to lead the cooperative toward sustainable growth.

Under her leadership, San Jose MPC has strengthened its Kolhabi brand by introducing innovative handcrafted Binakol products, expanding its participation in regional and national trade fairs, and creating more livelihood opportunities for local weavers. These initiatives have increased the visibility of Kolhabi while bringing the artistry of Sarrat to a wider market.

A significant contributor to the cooperative's continued growth has been its participation in the Department of Trade and Industry's Kapatid Mentor ME (KMME) Program. Building on the foundation established through previous KMME graduates within the cooperative, Ms. Justo further enhanced her knowledge in business management, financial planning, marketing, branding, and product development. The mentorship and practical learning provided by the program have helped strengthen the cooperative's operations, improve the competitiveness of its Kolhabi products, and equip its leaders to make sound business decisions for sustainable growth.

Today, Kolhabi proudly showcases authentic handwoven Binakol fabrics and handcrafted products made by the skilled weavers of Sarrat, Ilocos Norte. Every piece reflects the community's creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. By supporting Kolhabi, customers help preserve one of the Philippines' treasured weaving traditions while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for local artisans.

Looking ahead, Ms. Justo envisions San Jose MPC becoming one of the country's leading producers of premium Binakol products by expanding its product lines, strengthening its online presence, reaching export markets, and encouraging more young artisans to continue the weaving tradition.

As Ms. Justo shares, "Success comes through hard work, perseverance, and continuous learning. Never stop improving your skills and never forget your roots. Our culture and traditions are valuable treasures that deserve to be preserved. Together, let us support local products, strengthen our cooperatives, and inspire the next generation to continue the art of Binakol weaving."

San Jose, Purok 6, Camanggaan, Sarrat, Ilocos Norte, explore its products at the OTOP Hub located at Laoag International Airport, or follow Kolhabi โ€“ San Jose MPC on Facebook for updates on upcoming trade fairs, new product launches, and promotions.
