This study was conducted to identify, collect and maintain germplasms of potential dye yielding plants in Apayao [Philippines]. They survey method of research was used coupled with investigation and experimentation. Plants that possess dye potentials were extracted by beating and boiling. Yarn was dyed in dye bath metamordanted with salt. Results of the study show that the researcher collected 30 potential dye yielding plants. The collected dry yielding plants were maintained at ASC Luna campus. From the results of the study, it can be said that abundant dye-yielding plants are present in the province. In the light of the findings, the following are recommended: explore other sources of natural dyes, investigate local mordants suitable for each dyestuff, expand germplasms collection area, mass propagate the identified potential dye yielding plants.
