EN: pail
The 'timba' is the unsung hero of the Filipino bathroom. No shower? No problem. 'Timba' at 'tabo' to the rescue! It's also your best friend during a water interruption or for cleaning the house. It's the original ice bucket challenge container. A household isn't complete without one.
From Spanish 'timbal' (kettledrum), likely due to the shape.
A quintessential household item in the Philippines.
