The Iloko are found in the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Abra, and Cagayan, but they are highly concentrated in areas near the mouths of the Laoag and the Abra Rivers.

The pattern shown in this design has a reflective symmetry with vertical and horizontal reflection axes that meet at 180° rotation.
2nd Iloko cloth variant
2nd Iloko cloth variant
In this type of cloth, binakul technique is used to create the sinan-paddak ti pusa design or the cat’s paw. Its symmetry is shown horizontally and vertically in which axes meet at the center at 180° rotation. Its symmetry group is pmm.
Iloko Motifs
Iloko Motifs
These motifs exhibit flower designs made by Nagbacalan Loomweavers MPCI in Paoay. Each motif contains four elements resulting in a Klein 4 group. A 180° rotation at the center of the motif creates the symmetry with two reflections from the horizontal and vertical axes across its center.
When these motifs are repeated over a plane using translations, the planar pattern will consist of the symmetry group pmm. Meanwhile, a reflective symmetry will be created from its horizontal and vertical axes that intersect at the center of 180° rotation.
Vigan Binakol
Vigan Binakol
Vigan Binakol is a different kind of the usual circular pattern of binakol. An illusion of quarter circles is caused by the repeated design along the plane. A translational pattern coming from two directions is in this planar pattern. Its symmetry group is p1.
