FIL: Isang kasangkapang pangkasalok ng tubig na karaniwang may hawakan, ginagamit sa paliligo o paglilinis sa banyo.
EN: dipper; water scoop
The undisputed king of the Filipino bathroom. It's not a bidet, it's a way of life. This humble dipper is used for everything from bathing (the 'buhos' method) to flushing the toilet when the plumbing acts up, to watering plants, to giving the dog a bath. A Filipino household isn't complete without one, usually paired with a 'balde' (pail).
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *tabuq.
An essential item in most Filipino households, especially those without shower fixtures or bidets.
