Filipinos are known to be hospitable and also for being courageous. It was proven way back before especially in the Spanish era. It was written in our books and other medium of information.

If I will be ask of an object as a symbol during the war, it would be the bolo. The bolo is called an iták or sundáng in Tagalog while in Hiligaynon, the blade is referred to as either a binangon or a talibong.

Bolos are used as a weapon of the Filipinos during the 1898 Philippine Revolution, the Philippine-American War, and the Commonwealth period. Upto this time, Filipinos are still using this blade for cutting woods.

Most of the quality bolos are made by Batanggaños and Boholanos.
