The document discusses the history of weaving in the Philippines from pre-colonial times through the Spanish and American colonial periods. During pre-colonial times, indigenous groups wove fibers into clothing, blankets, and other items. Basketry and mat weaving were also practiced, using materials from the local environment. Under Spanish rule, local fabrics like nipis gained popularity and were exported internationally. Religious influences also led to new weaving traditions like palaspas. Various regional styles of mats, hats, and textiles continued to be made through the colonial periods.
