In Filipino culture, the tapayan is an earthen knee-tall jar used for storing water for washing. In many bahay kubos (huts) for the barrios, there is a tapayan near the entrance hagdanan (bamboo ladder) and another one at the back porch called the batalân. The function of this placement and implement is this: whenever you come up a house, polite manners necessitate that you wash your muddied feet. Ergo, the water jar and the tabó (coconut shell ladle) are just the right implements. In addition, the attached back-porch batalân serves as the out-bathhouse where there are several tapayans. Of course, one takes a bath using the buhos system (scooping water from the tapayan with a tabó and pouring it over one's hunched body). From "Yaman ng Lahi" by Dr. Penelope V. Flores, San Francisco State University.

| My name is Emer Manawis. My Dad, Mariano Daquial Manawis is your Mom's brother. Am working on the Manawis genealogy. Would like to connect with you and my long lost Cacdac cousins. Ling was my buddy when we were kids. Also working on the Daquial genealogy. Your Mom is the grand-daughter of our patriarch in Tuao, Cagayan, Don Fernando Daquial. Will give you link to the site Facebook site but will someone will have to be with Facebook who I can "friend" and invite into the group. I am sure you will find the site interesting. Your Mother owned large tracts of land in Tuao, Cagayan and Faire, Cagayan (I think the Faire name has been changed). I know that your relative Jan Cacdac tried tracing the Manawis-Cacdac genealogy. Tried to contact her but no response. I can share what I know of the Manawis family as related to your Mom, Consuelo Daquial Manawis-Cacdac. |
