The first silk fashion show here next month is seen to help revive the once-profitable sericulture industry in the highlands of northern Luzon, according to the Department of Agriculture (DA).

DA Cordillera regional information officer Robert Domoguen said the industry which was very popular to the natives in the 1970's was the raising of silkworm which produces silk cocoons processed into silk threads.

He recalled that the technical expertise among natives taught by sericulture experts from the Mountain State Agricultural College (now the Benguet State University) and the enormous supply of mulberry leaves made silk production a viable industry.

Domoguen said the fashion show coordinated by Clarita Prudencio to highlight the "Adivay Festival" (similar to Baguio City's annual flower festival), will have tremendous benefits not only to local garmentcraft, tourism and agriculture, but also in the various moves to protect the environment from further pollution.

He explained that with sericulture, more mulberry trees which are indigenous to the area with year-round cool weather and high elevation shall be planted in all available lands "thereby helping the tree planting program launched this year by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo."

As scheduled, beautiful models from Kapangan, Benguet who are students in Baguio universities will display in that fashion show silken barong, office uniforms and other garments.

To recall, the same use of indigenous fabrics was popularized by international garment producer Narda Capuyan in her "Eco-Fiber" program through fashion shows.

Domoguen said that the forthcoming fashion show is now one of the events being awaited in the locality which will "surely bring in more tourists and interest in ecological programs of our government."
