Donio also has a wooden rake (kandos) used in mixing grain when drying, a wooden
lining board (bagis) used in marking the rice paddy so that planters know where to plant
the seedlings, and a wooden yoke ( yugo) for his carabao. He also has a wooden mortar and
pestle (lusong and alho), a maize shelling board (banguran), and bamboo gong (karatong)
(Fig. 1.14) struck with bamboo stick to inform farmworkers that food is ready. Sickle
(garab), bolo (sundang), and guna (a shorter version of the bolo) are among Donio's
smaller farm tools (Fig. 1.14). A bolo is a long ( 45 cm, or 18 inches) wide knife that
is an all-purpose utility farming implement.
Farm Animals. Donio has chickens (Fig. 1.15) that freely roam around the house
and the neighborhood. Most of the food for the chickens comes from the surrounding
