1. Bamboo back basket (kuribot)

kuribot is a native basket weaved from bamboo in different sizes with a handle on one
side and carried over the shoulder. The underbelly of the bamboo is usually used because it’s
more flexible (to meet the demands of weaving) while it provides the same strength that the
outer skin may do. It is a large basket about a yard high. The kuribot is an all-purpose, heavy
duty basket with infinite use and boundless possibilities. Mostly, it is used by farmers to carry
their harvests or weeds to feed their animals. It can also be used as storage for anything or even
a waste basket. They sliced the bamboo into tiny pieces with the same size and assemble it like a
puzzle until they get the height that fits to them. It is hard understanding the pattern at the start
but it will now be easier when you reach its body.

2. Chicken bamboo cage (Takkab)

This cage is usually use for chicken that have little chicks to avoid the chicks being eaten
by cats, snake or other mammals and/or reptiles. It is also with made 1 bamboo. They slice it the
same length until it reaches the hard part of the bamboo which is node. The longer they slice it
the wider it will become. After slicing the bamboo, they will also sew it with bamboo skin with
pattern.
3. Banded Bullfrog/Bubble frog/ballon frog/painted frog (also known as bat-og, batto-batog, etc.)

These bubble frog shows up when it is raining. Our ancestors say that if this bubble frogs
showed up means the nature wins. Maybe because of its skin that has a V shape. The bubble
frog’s skin had many black and brown dots, but it has more brown color. When you touch this
frog, releases something sticky on his body which the dirt will be transferred in to your hand.
Moreover, they are really loud when they group together, their skin will stretch until they look
like a balloon, or a bubble and upon they release the air, it will create a loud noise. It also makes
them float when they fill up air in their body and stretch their skin.
4. Flying termite/Termite alates/Moth (simot-simot)

These are insects that also lives underground just like termites or white ant. These flying
termites are winged reproductive that comprise either males or females whose sole purpose is
to start new colonies and become the future king and queen of their new colony. At certain
times of the year, a termite colony will produce future kings and queens to take part in a pre-
nuptial flight in synchrony with other colonies of the same species. This happens for most of the
matured colonies of the same species in a particular area; young colonies do not produce alates
because of the resources required to nurture them to maturity and then release them. These
flying termites are fed some of the best food the nest has to offer and well taken care of until
the big day. As such, they are loaded with fat stores designed to last them for a few months,
until the first batch of eggs hatch into workers who will then forage for food and in the case of
fungus building species like the Macrotermitinae, construct the first fungus combs. For some
species, these future kings and queens look so different from the ordinary workers or soldiers,
or are very much larger than the other castes that they may seem to be from an entirely new
species to the layman. These flying termite swarms are best regarded as a natural phenomenon,
which are likely declining in urban areas as the numerous street lamps and other light sources
disperse swarms and isolated termite alates are easy prey for ants, birds, lizards and other
predators. Very few survive to start a new colony. Termites are poor fliers; the average dispersal
range for most species is less than 100 meters (300 ft) from the original colony.
 5. Taro leaves (dahon ng gabi)

Taro leaves are medium to large in size and broad and heart-shaped (large flat lamina), long tapering
leaf stalk or petiole, averaging up to forty centimeters in length and twenty centimeters in width. The
leaves are dark green and smooth on the surface and light green on the underside. The underside of the
leaves also has veins that branch out from the central stem. Both the veins and stem will have a purple
to red hue and are often variegated. The uniqueness and art of this leaf is it repels water in the surface
of leaf. Liquids that land on their surface do not wet the leaves but instead roll off them.
