Pabalat

Updated: Dec 2, 2021

The art of Bulacan pastillas wrapper making (also known as "Pabalat" or "Borlas de Pastillas"



Insight


In Bulacan, their pastillas are colorful and elegant designed paper wrappers or pabalat made of japanese paper. I made this once when I was Junior High school. It was stressful to make a hole in japanese paper but it was fun. I spent a lot of time by making pabalat. I wish it continues the tradition through next generation because it has an impact and fiestas are not complete without these paper-cut pastillas.
