PASCUAL
DEITA
Mr. Pascual
Deita is a producer of fine-crafted bamboo products from Brgy. Bonga, Panay,
Capiz. His artistic prowess and
creativity were developed when, as an out-of-school youth in 1975, he was identified
as one of the scholars of the Capiz Provincial Government of a vocational
course on bamboo craft production offered by the Capiz Model Production Center
of NACIDA (National Cottage Industries Development Authority) in Ivisan, Capiz.
After
graduation, he worked in several bamboo craft manufacturing firms in the
province that better enhanced his skills on weaving and design
interpretation. From 1985 to 1992, he
became the sample maker and quality control officer of Silak International,
Corp., a Roxas City-based manufacturer of export quality products made of
bamboo.
When the company
closed in 1992, he started his own bamboo craft business and has provided
livelihood to his relatives and neighbors up to the present. Every now and then, he is tapped by the LGUs,
NGAs and private organizations as trainer.
Mr. Deita has
perfected his craft and sustained the livelihood of at least 15 relatives and
friends in the neighborhood.
