Suksuk is a distinct heritage of the Filipinos. This design technique is unique and intrical. However, this method is limited only to a few old weavers and now this has become a dying industry. Reviving this heritage has promoted research on product development for weaving that would create a trademark in Philippine silk. This study was conducted to document and adopt the existing suksuk method and its designs; to create different silk product lines using the suksuk method and its adopted designs; to determine the cost analysis of the different silk product lines produced with the adopted suksuk designs and to commercialize the different silk product lines produced with suksuk designs. The study documented the steps in suksuk method and its designs. Ten designs were adopted: butterfly, spotted, one-sided diamond, tulip, sunflower, kayabang, strawberry, bahay-kubo, IPB logo and binakol. The cost analysis of each design was computed and analyzed. The promotion and commercialization of the created different silk fabric product lines produced with suksuk designs namely: butterfly, sunflower, kayabang, strawberry and bahay-kubo were included int he collection of designed formal wear for both women and men's wear in the'First Silk Fashion Show' in the Adivay Festival in Benguet. Fabrics are regularly displayed at the one-stop-shop of the institute and to the exhibits attended. Moreover, the suksuk designed butterfly and inspired IPB logo was one of the DMMMSU uniforms for its employee and lawyers of Region 1, respectively.
