Suyo

Labtang, (scientific name: Anamirta acocculus), which grows abundantly in the hilly areas of Ilocos Region, particularly in the upland municipalities of Ilocos Sur, is being turned into exquisite handicrafts making it the main product of one municipality.
The local government of Suyo, an upland municipality or generally referred to as one of the "interior towns" of the province, chose labtang craft as its One Town-One Product (OTOP) due to the abundance of the plant in the area. The plant has many branches that are cut and carved into finished products such as baskets, flower vase, fruit tray, place mat and novelty items which find their way into not just local but also international markets. The labtang is durable, easy to process and can be harvested in three to five years time, making it at par with bamboo and rattan.
