This research described mat-weaving and the language used by the weavers which form part of the culture in the island of Tingloy. This study employed qualitative research in which immersion, observations, and interviews were used to gather qualitative data among ten participants. The researchers immersed themselves in the mat-weavers’ activities while observing their language, life, and culture. The findings revealed that mat-weaving serves as livelihood for many families on the island. Superstitions and belief in mystical phenomena were identified along with endemic words relative to mat-weaving such as magbabanig, buli, grana,linas, linasan, palatina, pamumuli, pag-akak, nililang, paglilinas, paggagrana, paglalala, pagsasapay, pagtatasa and mangangabig. Values such as unity and teamwork, hard work and perseverance, determination and patience and willingness to preserve culture are the characteristics of matweavers. Ideologies such as strong family ties, education as priority, paternal authority, palabra de honor and strong faith in God and specific culture such as paggagrana and granahan, tungko, linasan and transistor radio as trademark of maglalala were also identified in this study. It was concluded in this study that the mat-weavers on the island of Tingloy are dramatically decreasing due to the lack of promotional and technical support coming from the local government unit. The younger generations are no longer interested in this industry and instead opt to find jobs in the mainland Batangas or nearby metropolis. It is deemed necessary for the local government to act on the preservation of pagbabanig as a trademark of Tingloy.
