EN: chamber pot; bedpan
Before the era of en-suite bathrooms and 24/7 access to a CR, there was the humble **orinola**. It's the OG portable toilet, usually for midnight emergencies. 'Yung lola mo, baka may kwento tungkol dito. It's the low-tech solution when you're too lazy or too scared to go to the outhouse in the middle of the night.
From Spanish 'orinal'.
The 'a' at the end is a common Tagalog adaptation. The word is now considered old-fashioned.
