WHAT IS THIS?
















I know it is an old bottle but why does it have a hole in its base? Does anybody know if it's worth anything? They said it weighs more than a kilogram but I do not know what it is made of.

I don't think that's a bottle at all because of the hole at the base. If I'm not mistaken that is a World War II mortar shell called "ni." (Japanese)

That's similar to what the "juetengeros" use to draw numbers from, hehe...not kidding, I went with a "kubrador" once in Baguio to their hideout and that's the kind of jug they used.
Is that metal or clay, if it's metal, Kayni maybe right. Then give it to the NPA's ta baka mausar da pay, hehe....cheers!

Hmmm... Di ko alam kung ano yan. Yeah, it looks like a bottle to me. Pero it's been positively identified by Kayni as a mortar shell. Kung may napala ka jan, sis, palibre ha? Hehehe...

Hi Kayni, thanks for that info. I googled antique bottles, old bottles, etc and was not able to find one with a hole. Beats me :) It isn't a bottle after all.

oii trublue, siguro mananaya ka ng jueteng anoh?! :)

bru, magbago ka naman na! international ka na nga eh pagpapalibre pa rin ang inaatupag mo! nyahahahahah Dyok lng kadi!

hi bill,
I would basta matuloy ang pagpapakape mo! :)
Han kadi, it's not mine. My dad asked my help lang in identifying it for his treasurehunter friend yata so i told them to email me a pic. Ayun, bala pala ng kanyon! ANo ba yun!? LOLZ

It's like a "sinaunang bottomless" bottle to me. Pero bala nga naman talaga. Though following Trublue, mabalin pay pangbingo where numbers are drawn. Hehe.

hi noviceblogger, thanks for dropping by :)

yah, the people who found it thought it's something of value. I should have asked for it and gave it to Bill (from the boondocks) na lang. He seemed to have a penchant for strange looking bottles. :)

AT THE ALTAR OF OUR ANCESTORS

Someone asked me to serialize a few articles on the offerings done by the Kalanguya, Igorots of the bygone era though some are still doing them until now. So TM, here you go. I could have emailed it to you but that's making it too easy for you. After all, you should be the one doing your own research, cheat! :) Be warned that I just copied it from a paper on Cultural vs. Biblical Keyterms presented at the International Translation Conference 2006 held in Horsleys Green, High Wycombe, Bucks., England. Besides, wala na rin akong maisulat muna. . 4 Types of Sacrifice/ Offering in Kalanguya Culture The Kalanguya sacrifices are collectively known as keleng but to the wider Filipino society, these sacrifices are called Cañao [1] [kan’yaw], a collective name referring to the Kalanguya sacrifices. I have categorized the types of keleng according to the purpose for which such sacrifices are performed. They are performed to achieve either social, physiological, or spiritual outcomes. The K...
