EN: a well; water source for fetching
Before Nawasa and Maynilad, there was the igiban. This is the OG water station of the barrio, the local well or pump where everyone got their daily supply. It was also the prime spot for neighborhood chismis. 'Saan mo nakuha 'yang balita?' 'Diyan lang sa igiban.' Today, your water cooler at the office is the modern igiban.
Refers to the place of fetching water, not the act itself (which is 'pag-igib').
