 For those of you who do not know it, there is a movement called The Tabo Travel Troupe, which is slowly but surely spreading across the Multiplyverse. The goal of the group, simply to take pictures of the humble TABO in various locations around the globe, and share them. Thus the tabo becomes a metaphor for
the Filipino diaspora - similarly diverse and dispersed, yet,
unmistakeably Pinoy, quirky, and reassuringly familiar and hospitable
wherever they're found.
Since I have yet to actually take an interesting photo with a tabo in it, I decided to simply draw the TABO.
For more details on Didipusrex's account of the peeing lola on the Bicol-bound train, check out this post.
Cheers! And don't forget to wash thoroughly now.
 | hanep~ pati dito sa canada we looked far and wide just to find one. we simply canNOT use toilet paper. hahahah! |
 | hahaha! doesn't matter if it's not a photo, this is just as good, if not better! galeng! |
 | When you use a tabo to clean yourself after defacating, do you:
a) Use just the tabo, water and your bare hand? (Buhos at kayod)
b) Use Tissue Paper, dip it into the Tabo and cleanse your bunghole?
I do "B". Mahirap tanggalin ang amoy (kahit sabunin mo), lalung-lalo na kung malagkit.

 | This makes me feel at home, hahaha! But sad to say, I know pinoys abroad who have turned their back against the lovely 'tabo', tsk tsk.....losing identity?
My cat and I share my silver tabo, hehehe...
a: I use it to whatever purpose it serves me (see above)
b. and my cat drinks from it!
If only I could take my tabo to summer camps, bummer! |

1) Parang basang trapo -- Basain para mas maigi ang pagpunas ng puwet.
2) Puwedeng balutin ang daliri ang kayurin ang kuyukut.
3) Pagkatapos maghugas ng puwet, pantulong ito sa pagkutkut ng duming naiwan sa mga kuko ng daliri.
4) Panlinis ng inidoro kapag kumalat ang ebak, lalung-lalo na kung sira ang tiyan at kung saan-sann tumalsik ang mga butil-butil ng kanin at mais na dehins natunawan.
5) Pamunas ng luha't uhog na lumabas sa sobrang iri, lalung-lalo na kung 5 araw na constipated.
6) Pamunas ng ibang "projectile" kung hindi lang pagdumi't ligo ang ginawa sa banyo.
... at marami pang iba.
