Salay
Handmade Paper Industries, Incorporated (SHAPII)
is a producer and exporter of handmade paper and its converted
items in the quaint town of Salay, Misamis Oriental, Philippines.
Headed by Mrs. Loreta Rafisura, it began in 1987 as a civic
organization known as People's Economic Council (PEC). The aim
of Salay PEC was to help provide livelihood to its people. |
The group was initially composed
of only 10 civic-minded locals who had no formal art education.
Today, however, after continuous research and training in design
and processing, SHAPII is contributing significantly to the development
of Salay and the Philippines and is a source of inspiration to other
entrepreneurs.
