Any Travel to Davao?

Is there anyone traveling to Davao City soon (or living there)? I need some Bagobo cloth (not antique necessarily) so that I can restore the Bagobo bolo scabbard on which I am now working. You can also email me at:

battara@hotmail.com

Thank you.

How much do you need?

I picked up a long ikat weaving made of abaca about a yard wide by 3-4 yards long when I was in Davao just in May. It's much longer than I thought it was since in was rolled up in a bolt. The problem is that I'm not sure if it is Bagobo or whether it is T'boli, Mandaya/Mansaka, B'laan, or Manobo. I have a problem distinguishing between the tribes, but it definately isn't Moro. Let me know and I can photograph it for you and chop off what you need.
