don't have one. only $hit in our house that's filipino-ey pretty much follow the catholic theme, b/c we don't have much to do with REAL filipno $hit, like the weapons of moroland that i see in so many houses LOL.

is one utensil always supposed to be above the other? it was like that on the set of everybody loves rymond. lol. but marie did it b/c she was mad at frank. lol.

btw we don't know anyone with em. i might know someone with em but i didn't notice it. but in general, my filipino friends don't have em.

i know some igorots have history of wooden spoons like with figures on the handle of the bulol, i wonder if it is from the igorots and adopted by the lowland people kinda like weapons of moroland is clearly relating to the muslim culture.

i have another question about the spoons i forgot to ask, are the handles on the spoons plain or have engraving on them? i saw one and search wooden spoons on ebay and i was suprised to see that the results showed wooden spoons from fiji, papua new guinea and other pacific islands, i wonder if it is an ancient cultural relation?

^ i think ancient filipinos dont use spoon & fork

i think maybe the igorots used spoons, spoons were also used in other place in southeast asia, in vietnam the dong son had spoons i think byron posted pics before, and also another thing i found in common between the igorot and ancient vietnam was that there are artifacts of the linglingo uncovered in vietnam and the igorot still wear them.

do ancient ppl in this areas use thier hands or spoon & fork?


Ask older ppl, maybe they know wat it means

i think they serve for decorative purposes

oh and igorots doesnt use spoon and fork before ) they use bamboo.... hehe i experienced that when i went to subic

ifugao spoons

it was the weopon of choice by the ancient filipinos...if you dint know in the hands of a master the spoon and fork is deadly. :genius:

thats what i thought tooo. i thought more traditional was using your hands

In Thai houses the wooden spoon is used for slapping ur kids about with when they're brats!!!

I guess it's not the same meaning.......

^my mom almost hit me w/a wooden spoon when i was young

Engot...you don't see Igorots n Subic..They are in the cordillera region

^ i know i was kinda puzzled about that statement myself.. i just assume there is some igorot community settle there in subic?

Can ppl stop confusing Igorots from Aetas........they r far different from each other

& u see aetas in subic/pampanga areas not igorots


where is that "ignorante nga provinciano" thread

I saw the wooden spoon and fork in the movie "The Debut".....


also a monkey/guy figure with a HUGE penis...I've seen monkeys with big dongs in southeast Asian stuff too.....like small traditional stone figurines and keychains...what's that all about?

^barrel man is a MAN.

ohhh found it!

you use the fork to scratch ur back

Ok. I meant to decorate this spoon inside our house but it didn't fit:



So I tried a smaller one, but still was too big... and all these ladies wanna grab my spoon. LOL.



We ended up with these:

Hey do you live in Minnesota?!?!? That place is nice...

The dildo end of a spoon:

Don't mean anything just for decorative purposes much like carvings.

your constant perverted humor of filipino culture is so disrespectful, you only degrading it because it is not the spanish side

chill out dude... I will not leave you alone

^ i would love to be your friend if you can contribute to the discussion about native spoons?

LOL. I can contribute to the discussion about anything except becoming "your friend". You're making yourself a clown for expressing you "would love" to be my friend on the condition (note the word IF) that I contribute to the discussion about native spoons. Are you crazy? How about offering me candy for every lovely contribution I make about forks, hah? Dude, there must be a reason why you were disliked by other members who were registered on AF ahead of me. I don't know who you are hence my thread "Who is dalawapo?", and for a similar reason - I would love to be your opponent in any form of argumentation as some have alleged that you constantly create accounts just to raise a bandwagon-effect in favor of your opinion. I cannot prove that, of course, and I don't intend to. You could create as many accounts (for all I care)... but I remain steadfast to render objective tolerance to any account for that matter (whether it be yours or not).

EDIT: Oops sorry, I thought I was "User1", LOL.

what a dumb @$$ juilius i wasnt even talking to you, in fact i don't like talking to spanish worshiper u know your worshiping the feet of spanish u are their lapdog leftovers in the philippines trying to degrade anything non-spanish in the philippines like ur disrespecting ifugao's bulul rice god by calling him a dildo, u have no respect for other religion, because ur no better than the spanish who u worship. why dont u just go to spain and see what part of the social ladder you will fit in, because when u go there you will be their maid cause your tainted and not even really spanish but a wannabe.

^LOL. And you can prove this? LOL. How exactly did I worship the horny Spaniards who left the "Mañana habit" legacy to Filipinos?


^LOL. I called one end of the spoon a dildo, not your bulul god. Discern the difference between a god and a spoon little stupid kid.



^Geez, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't worship those horny Spaniards... why do you keep on insisting? LOL.



^You low-IQ pacific islander pretending to be Filipino! On Jan 05, 1999 - I headed a Y2K project in Spain and our project lasted for 1 year and 6 months. Below was our office address and phone#, call them and ask about Julius Castillo who headed a team of Mainframe programmers on their Y2K project. Call them and weep.

Now it would probably make your face burn that I did not become a maid in Spain like you expected. What college degree did you finish, you brag?

your are an uneducated person julious, it is obvious the end of the spoon in the picture u quoted and called "dildo" is a carving of the ifugao's bulul rice god.

you are just so xenophob that u dont know when you make a mistake and can't admit it because you fu-king got something up your @$$, u know you are clearly mistaken here but u still can't admit it because u dont have human concept of humility or respect, ur acting like a stupid animal

What college degree have you finished dalawapo?

^You may call "julious" anything you want, call him idiot, moron whatever... but my name is not "julious" so - I don't mind... after all "julious" is not equal to "julius". But then again since you're an idiot dalawapo - you wouldn't even know the difference between "julious" and "julius" - because you cannot follow simple logic, so what's the point in having an argumentation with you? LOL.


^Wow, you are really an idiot, and even though the whole point of the matter came out from your mouth - you still insist your stand. It is clear that you said:

"the end of the spoon in the picture u quoted and called "dildo" is a carving of the ifugao's bulul rice god"

-* Oh my goodness mister dalawapo, read it again and again until you understand yourself. Hahahaha. From your own dirty mouth you said that it is a carving of the ifugao's bulul rice god - meaning it is just a mere carving, but NOT THE GOD itself. YOU MORON. YOU MEAN THE SPOON CARVING IS EQUAL TO YOUR GOD?

Wait a minute... What college degree have you finished dalawapo? How about tackling that argument about me going to Spain and working as a maid... hehehe, you must have cried so hard when you knew I was a Senior Systems Analyst there ha?

It is truly hard for idiots like you to realize that they are really idiots. You're not acting like a stupid animal, you are the stupid animal in all essence, got the logic?

woah. i think he only mispelled the name. thas all...

Even if the idiot spells correctly (for the sake of example)... he still can't follow simple logic. LOL.

your inability to respond to the substance of the comment i made and trying to circumvent by dissecting the grammer of what i said only prove to show how scared u were, how cowardly, you are to actually address and check you for calling the carving of the bulul rice god a dildo, you se "Julius" you are not manly enough to actually admit your disrespect because your a COWARD and so as a coward you resort to something irrelevant such as the grammer, and then you try to make a poor arguement about a carving not actually being the god itself, that is such a stupid statement, when actually carving, bible, quran, torah, these things can actually represent the god and can be offense when someone burn it, flush it down the toliet, call it a dildo etc because it offending the symbolism behind it. its sad i had to educate you with your "degree" as though you are still a preschool child, because again, you are incapable of acknowledging when you are wrong as the immature being that you are, the sad and unfortunate xenophobic guy who believes you can only cheer for your own race, so closed minded and ignorant, so poor in true knowledge which is common-sense not merely a piece of paper, you are nothing of substance. do you understand this commonsense message im trying to knock inside your thick headed skull Julius?

but anyway, im done trying to help you see the error of your ways, why not just go on with your life with your narrowminded and lack of commonsense and see how far and how truly sucessful you become, with your xenophobic disposition and piece of paper that say u have a degree... your nothing guy, plain and simple as that. bye.

^The key phrase is "these things can actually represent the god". So now - you prove yourself to be the biggest idiot of all.




^You educate me with what dalawapo? With your nonsensical arguments? Oh please baby... don't flatter your stupid self.




^You blabber your mouth like a stupid pig - no clear steadfast direction and coherence. Sentence structure is substantialy weak - a clear manifestation of an unsofisticated (i.e. mind that deals with complex logic) mind.
