Magdalena Gamayo
- a certified GAMABA Artist
In Pinili, Ilocos Norte, 96-year-old Magdalena Gamayo embodies decades of history and tradition in the best possible way. Magdalena Gamayo, a skilled weaver of the inabel cloth, a historical cotton fabric bartered for gold in the Galleon Trade and described in the ancient Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang, was born in 1924 and is a Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA) awardee. She's been a mag-aabel for almost 80 years, having learned the trade from her aunts when she was 15 years old during WWII.
