    US ' w of •16 JUL20 P5:11 SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS ) SENATE OF THE PHILIPPINES ) First Regular Session ) RFC El VI',!') BY; SENATE SB No. 717 Introduced by SENATOR CYNTHIA A. VILLAR AN ACT INSTITUTIONALIZING THE PHILIPPINE ABACA INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, PROVIDING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES EXPLANATORY NOTE This bill seeks to spur the revival of the production, processing, marketing, and distribution of abaca in suitable areas of the country in order to provide income to people living in rural areas and spur economic growth. The plant, known worldwide as Manila hemp is extracted from the leaf sheath around the trunk of the abaca plant (Musa textilis), a close relative of the banana, native to the country and widely distributed in the tropics. The harvesting abaca is labor intensive as each stalk must be cut into strips which are scraped to remove the pulp. The fibers are then washed and dried. Abaca is has high 15% lignin content and as such it is prized for its great mechanical strength, resistance to saltwater damage, and long fiber length - up to 3 m. Abaca farmers can be found in Albuera, Leyte, in Catanduanes, Davao Oriental, Northern Samar, Sorsogon, Sulu, Davao del Sur and Surigao del Sur, among others. Environmental benefits Erosion control and biodiversity rehabilitation can be assisted by intercropping abaca in former monoculture plantations and rainforest areas, particularly with coconut palms. Planting abaca can also minimize erosion and sedimentation problems in coastal areas which are important breeding places for sea fishes. The water holding capacity of the soil will be improved and floods and landslides will also be prevented.
