Patadyong

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A patadyong from the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines

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. It was also historically worn in parts of Luzon like Pampanga and Sorsogon.[1][2][3][4]

In the precolonial era, it was usually worn with a

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.[6][7]

The patadyong is identical to the

Visayan languages, from the root word tadlong, "[to go] straight"; its alternative name "habol" or "habul" means "woven [textile]", though it usually means "blanket" in modern Visayan.[2]
