Patadyong

The patadyong (pronounced pa-tad-jóng, also called patadyung, patadjong, habol, or habul), is an indigenous Philippine rectangular or tube-like wraparound skirt worn by both men and women of the Visayas islands and the Sulu Archipelago, similar to the Malong, or Sarong.

[1][2][3][4] In the precolonial era, it was usually worn with a barú or bayú, a simple collar-less shirt or jacket with close-fitting long sleeves.

[2][5] During the Spanish period, this evolved into the kimona, a variant of the baro't saya worn by Christianized Visayan lowlanders consisting of a loose translucent blouse, an undershirt, and a patadyong or a patadyong-patterned skirt.

As a cultural treasure, it is so versatile that it has been used as cloth divider, baby sling and for rice harvest bundling.
