EN: fan palm; the leaf of a fan palm
The OG Filipino fan. Before aircon and electric fans, there was the anahaw leaf. You'd see it used as a pamaypay during hot summer days in the province, or as roofing for a bahay kubo. It's the national leaf, basically the leafy equivalent of a barong tagalog—classic, functional, and very Pinoy.
Refers to both the tree (Livistona rotundifolia) and its iconic, fan-shaped leaf. It is the national leaf of the Philippines.
