Bahag (garment)

Okay kiddo, let me explain to you what a bahag is. It is a traditional Philippine garment worn by men in the olden days. It’s like a loin cloth or a piece of cloth that covers the bottom part of the body. It is made from woven fibers of plants or sometimes animal skin. This garment was usually worn during work or physical activities to make it easier for men to move around. It was also used during special occasions or rituals to represent strong and brave warriors. Nowadays, you might not see many people wearing them because modern clothing has taken over, but some people still use them as a symbol of their cultural heritage. So there you have it, a bahag is a type of clothing that was used by men in the Philippines a long time ago.
