Broom made of coconut palm leaf midribs.
The palm leaves are stripped and the midribs dried in the
sun. Then they are bundled together and tied at the top.
These brooms are used inside on split-bamboo floors or
outside in the yard.

Indi poiding manilig mga may patay ong balay.
You can't sweep if there is a dead person in the house.

clouds, they will sweep the rain away.
