Summary "Philippine Mats" by the Philippines Bureau of Education is an instructional manual focused on mat-making techniques, likely written in the early 20th century. The work serves as an educational resource for teachers in the Philippines, providing detailed directions on the preparation of materials, designs, and weaving methods for creating various types of mats. It emphasizes the significance of artistic and commercial value in mat production and aims to enhance the industry as a source of income in Filipino households. The opening of the book lays out its purpose and context, indicating that it is derived from earlier publications in "The Philippine Craftsman." It details the extensive domestic demand for mats, highlighting the different materials used, such as buri and pandan straws, and mentions their uses in daily life, including for sleeping and packaging. The foreword notes the importance of improving design and craftsmanship to elevate the mats' traditional significance and potential for commercial success. Emphasis is placed on the variety of weaving techniques and the artistic elements involved, suggesting that the content aims not only to instruct but also to inspire a revival of the mat-making industry in the Philippines.
