rain cape ,one exemple in san francico museum very nice inside pattern Women in many parts of Luzon use a trough-shaped carrying basket or tudung constructed of a layer of pandanus leaves (ga-ad in Ifugao) sandwiched between inner and outer frameworks of rattan. The basket doubles as a rain cape when worn over the head due to its thick waterproof layers.

In most places in the Cordillera, women are primarily responsible for planting and transplanting rice, weeding, and harvesting. Tudung are particularly useful for transporting wet rice seedlings at transplanting time. These baskets are also made in smaller sizes for carrying a variety of produce."
