Answer 2

All native pots and jars in the Philippines were used either for dining purposes (rarely) or in burial purposes.

For dining purposes, the native jars were solely for water and other condiments, such as herbs, rice, and sauces. Ancient Filipinos used banana leaves, bamboo, and coconut husks for utensils. However, most modern Filipinos use Western style containers since 1898 (start of US colonization).

The most famous native jar in the Philippines is the manunggul /mah-noong-goohl/, an earthenware with two figures of men in a boat toward the sea. It is for burial purposes. It is depicted in the PhP 1,000 reverse side. Ancient Filipinos believe that souls of the dead people row boat into the sea of cosmos into the afterlife - hence the two figures. It is still present in some of the native hilltribes of Luzon.

Answer 4

Kulon for pots, banga for jars in Cebu. Burnay in Ilocos.

Burnay is an earthen-ware usually found in the Filipino kitchen. Rice, vinegar, salt and water are the common stuff stored in these durable earthen jars. Today, however, not so many Filipinos use the earthenware with the proliferation of plastic containers and the more elegant-looking push-button rice and water dispensers. Surely, though, the burnay is still superior to all these modern containers.

For the nostalgic, the burnay has been elevated in status from the kitchen to the show-windows of the home, the receiving room, patio or the garden, where it serves as a rustic decor.

In Pangasinan, the burnay we call pasig is still a treasured possession. It constitutes a family heirloom in most homes, although it no longer traditionally holds the rice nor water, nor salt.

Except in bagoong (fermented fish) factories where hundreds upon hundreds of burnay hold tons upon tons of salted fish and its by-product patis (fish sauce), the burnay is often seen in the roadsides and gardens holding ornamental plants.
