EN: bamboo water container
Before the age of Aquaflask and plastic water bottles, there was the 'sawing'. It's the OG, eco-friendly, provincial water jug. Imagine fetching water from the 'poso' (water pump) and carrying it back home in this giant bamboo tube. Very rustic, very classic Pinoy.
This term is more common in rural or historical contexts.
