I've tried making pusô once and suffice to say that my creations were palatable but were aesthetically wanting.
I said to myself that I'd gladly buy one than master the process of weaving strands of young coconut fronds into the pusô's iconic heart shape. They are dirt cheap anyway, especially in Cebu where you can almost always bump into these heavenly morsels at your neighborhood karenderya or this lechon place or that crowded pungko-pungko.
I am also glad to find out that Cebu's much-loved pusô is now a keychain thanks to PolyCrafts. These are perfect for pasalubongs - affordable like their actual counterparts and intricately woven from discarded polypropylene (PP) straps. Aside from being an environment-friendly enterprise, PolyCrafts also support women from GK villages who transform the scrap plastic into pusô keychains and other beautiful crafts.
