material, anahaw leaves are seen
as decorative pieces/plants in the
metro.
 National Fruit:

 National Animal:
Carabao

If common men have dogs as their

best friend, then the carabao or

be done on the rice fields,
including carrying the farmer and
his goods.

has not been recognized as a
national symbol.

Bangus

Bony, yet prized for its belly fat,

which almost everyone fights
for on the dinner table. The

been seen as the country’s
national fish, yet without a law,
it’s status will never be official.

traditional Filipino festivals or at
school and theater performances.
