Manobo Hunting Weapons

From left to right: segpo (spear), busog (bow), and seleb (arrow). I believe
I don’t have to tell you what they are for. 


The plegkasin is made of wood and worn on the wrist. The hunter rests
his arrow on the plegkasin for him to have a more accurate aim.

(Blogger's note: This post is part of a series on items that the Dulangan Manobo people traditionally use in their daily lives. Special thanks to the RNDM nuns assigned in Kulaman Plateau. For more information about the series, read my introductory post or click the label Delesan Menubo below.)
