Garab, Talibong, Pira


The Garab is sometimes seen as another version
of Talibon or Talibong with some very subtle
differences. This does not mean that everyone in
the southern Philippines believes the same as
others elsewhere in the Philippines. Many
martial arts practitioners of the Philippines
would rather be traditional and still call the "Garab sword" by it's name. The handles
and the modifications were done to achieve it's unique look which simply states that
this sword has it's own identity.
Brass Betel Box

Betel chewing was prevalent in the southern Philippines


as in much of the rest of Southeast Asia. Wealthier
Maranao families on Mindanao were able to afford

were offered betel and the other component such as leaves and lime to make up the
betel quid.
