The SSF was established for the hablon weavers in the community.

Prior to the upgrading of the facility, the loomweavers only produces shawls and scarfs with a monthly revenue of at least P80,000. With the additional equipment, they could produce patadyong and hablon cloth and could triple their production of shawls and scarfs, which is estimated to reach their monthly sales of up to P300,000.

DTI VI Regional Director Rebecca M. Rascon underscored that the agency is doing its best to extend assistance to the micro, small and medium enterprises especially in this tough time caused by the pandemic Covid-19.
