Abaniko refers to a certain handy fan originated in
the Philippines. During the Spanish era, this abaniko fans usually
use and paired with baro't saya as the lady's attire. In this modern
times, the use of abaniko fans in the Philippines remains and to some
countries. As being a Filipino, I also treasure this abaniko fan as
part of our national heritage. Sometimes, I use this abaniko fan
during severe sunny season and naturally ease-up from the sun's heat.
Thanks for the nice words, there are interesting things with you!
