    BIOGRAPHY OF TEOFILO GARCIA

    In case you’re wondering what Tabungaw is, it’s an Ilocano term for “Upo”,
    also known as Bottle Gourd or White Pumpkin. Teofila Garcia, on the other
    hand, is known to be the last of the Tabungaw hat makers, a traditional
    headgear made of tabungaw or gourd.
    Born on March 27, 1941, Teofilo, an Abra local started the art of Kattukong or
    Tabungaw hat making from his grandfather Hipolito at the age of 15. He
    dedicated most of his life working as a farmer to send his five children to
    school. He also devoted his time planting “upo”, his main material in
    producing the traditional tabungaw. It’s said that it takes at least seven days
    to finish one tabungaw hat, as he uses only simple hand tools that he
    designed himself for producing his final product. Currently, Teofilo is invited to
    give talks and demonstrations locally and abroad. He even opened up his
    home so people can see some of his unique creations, and also genuinely
    teaches local school children the art of Tabungaw making. Up until now, he’s
    innovating on his traditional designs based on inspirations recent travels. He
    has also developed unique patterns he learned when he was young.
