Know Your North Season 7 Episode 4 Teofilo Garcia
Teofilo Garcia, katukkong maker
Because the traditional kattukong headgear is made from bottle gourd (tabungaw/upo), the quality of the final product
depends not just on the construction and the finishing of the piece, but also on the caring and cultivation of the vines which yield the perfectly-shaped fruit that will be transformed into the useful accessory.
National Living Treasure awardee Teofilo Garcia is the last of the gourd hat makers, involved from the planting
of the seeds to the varnishing of the hat. He intends to pass on the knowledge and skills to preserve the practice.
