Sadok

The handicraft store near the Bulusan jeepney stop in Gubat  is selling this updated version of the traditional sadok. The 'tindero' (salesclerk) calls it as the 'sadok na may payong' because of the recycled umbrella fabric over the anahaw top.

The sadok is a rain and sun protection still widely used by Bulusan rural folks traditionally made from anahaw with bamboo framing underneath fastened by nito.

Bulusan sadok crafstmen are vanishing. As of my latest search... I have yet to find a living sadok maker in Bulusan still engaged in the craft.
