Perched on the anahaw thatched roof of a rural home in Dancalan, are these karagumoy hats (kalo) drying under the heat of the high noon sun. After the extra strips are trimmed off--('gusap' is how the locals call the process), the hats are then brought to the hat traders in the Poblacion who are also owners of medium to big grocery stores. These can therefore bring home some grocery items from canned goods, rice and even cell phone load depending of course as to the number of hats being delivered. A karagumoy hat exchange rate goes between Php4-5 on average.
