for everyone

Aling Luz Ocampo is only one of the very few women who keeps the art of the traditional pastillas wrapper alive.She uses colorful papel-de-hapon as pabalat for the pastillas. She could even personalize the design (cut-out the recipient's name or message like "Happy Bday"). By the way, Aling Luz also hand-carves dayap (lime), galing talaga nya! Her house has sort-of become a tourist spot in Bulacan.

Hi! galing nya noh? I think she's 84 na pero malinaw pa rin mata nya (although medyo nanginginig na kamay nya). May nabasa ako sa Phil. Star na article na tinawag sya na Nene Scissorhands :) Pwede mo sya puntahan pag nadaan ka dito sa Bulacan. makipag coordinate tyo sa Tourism dito :)
