Each bracelet is meticulously crafted with colorful stones and other embellishments, showcasing Bebeboy’s unique artistic vision. Bebeboy, known for his handicrafts, often explores the slopes of Mt. Talinis volcano in Zamboanguita, collecting driftwood for his woodcarvings. One day, he stumbled upon the skeleton of a snake, which he transformed into these exotic bracelets, now a popular item at his stall. As you peruse his collection, you’ll always find something new and intriguing to admire. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the bustling Malatapay Farmer’s Market on Wednesdays, where you can explore the stalls and enjoy local delicacies cooked over an open fire.
