Tabo (hygiene)
The ''tabò'' (TAH-boh) is the traditional Filipino hygiene tool primarily for anal cleansing, bathing, and cleaning the floor of the bathroom. Many Filipinos actually prefer using a ''tabo'' rather than toilet paper since toilet paper is considered to be inadequate or even dirty. The tabo could most commonly be found in the provinces though it is also widely used in the cities.
The ''tabo'' can sometimes be translated into English as a "dipper", but according to Dr. Michael Tan, chancellor at the University of the Philippines-Diliman and a columnist at the ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'', that translation is weak. In his opinion article entitled “‘Tabo’ Culture”,〔 which is posted online at the Philippine Daily Inquirer website last May 24, 2011, Dr. Tan says that the tabo is much more than a dipper. The plastic ''tabo'' is an almost indispensable fixture in the Filipino home. Filipinos living overseas will bring their own ''tabo'' or even ask their relatives to send one over if ever they forget.
== History ==
The ''tabo'' is the Filipino's version of dipper that is also well known in other Southeast Asian countries that uses their own version of a dipper. The "modern tabo'' was created during the introduction of plastic by the Americans, using modern material to create the dipper instead of traditional coconut and bamboo. Back then, the ''tabo'' was called a ''sartin''. In the past, sources of water were sometimes few and far between, causing the ancestors of today's Filipinos to develop the “sartin.” Instead of standing up each time to be able to reach the water source and wash their hands, the ''sartin'' is passed around to save time and essentially, water, according to historian Lito Nunag from the University of the Philippines-Diliman.〔
