Think of anything that gives you "East Asian" vibes. Pancit canton? **Oryental** food. That fancy vase with a dragon on it? **Oryental** design. It's a word often used in place names like Mindoro **Oryental** (Oriental Mindoro) to mean the "eastern" part. It's a bit of a colonial, old-school term, but still widely used in the Philippines.
From Spanish 'oriental'.
The term can be considered dated or overly broad in some Western contexts when referring to people, but in the Philippines, it's commonly used to mean "eastern" or related to East Asian culture, especially in geography and art.
