Locally-known as ragiwdiw and bankuan in Bicol, the seagrass (Rynchospora corymbosa) is a perennial plant species which grows abundantly in the flood-prone areas of the region. While it is considered as useless by some, the dried stalks from seagrass can be hand-twined which can be used as raw material for handicraft-making. The twined material or salapid could then be used to produce different products like native bags, slippers, hampers, and decorative items.
