Earth, carried to or from the building sementeras, in the trails, or about the dwellings, is put first in the tak-o-chug', the basket-work scoop, holding about 30 or 40 pounds of earth, and this is carried by wooden handles lashed to both sides and is dumped into a transportation basket, called "ko-chuk-kod'." This is invariably hoisted to the shoulder when ready for transportation.
I have also seen it used many times in Manila by Tagalog who were caught out in a storm without an umbrella. The rain protector is shown lying in front of the house in Pl. Tak-o-chug' is the man's dirt scoop made of a'-nis bamboo. It resembles the tug-wi' in shape, but is only about 1 1/2 feet long.
It is employed in handling earth, and conveying the dirt to the ko-chuk-kod', or dirt transportation basket. A basket very similar to tak-o-chug', but called "sug-fi'," is employed by the woman in her housework in handling vegetables. It is shown in Pl. XCIV, containing camote parings. The to'-pil is the man's "dinner pail."
