Weaving mats take several weeks—from the gathering of pandan leaves to stripping,

fineness of the weave as well as the elegance of the design.
Mats are also significant fixtures in Filipino homes. They are sometimes used in rituals. In
some places, mats are used as carpets to highlight an occasion. It is also cool to sleep on,
especially inside a nipa hut, where people sleep in the floor.
