EN: mosquito net
The original, low-tech anti-dengue device. Before Off! lotion and plug-in katol, there was the kulambuan. It's that net canopy you sleep under that makes you feel like royalty but also sometimes traps the one mosquito you were trying to avoid inside with you. Classic probinsya life.
A variant of 'kulambo'.
'Kulambo' is the more common term, but 'kulambuan' is also widely used and understood, sometimes implying a grander or more permanent setup.
