EN: kindling; firewood
The OG fire starter, before lighters and gas stoves became a thing. This is what you gather in the province to cook rice over an open fire. It's the small, dry twigs and wood chips that get the party started for the bigger logs. The unsung hero of many lutong-bahay.
'Saeng' is an old Tagalog word for kindling. 'Sasaeng' might be a variant or a derivative.
This is a very rare or archaic word. Most people would use 'panggatong' or 'kahoy na panggatong'.
