2. The 9th WHAT IS THE SALAMBAO? The salambaois an indigenous Filipino fishing craft whose gracefully arching silhouette once dominated the Parañaque skyline. Basically a raft with a net that hung like a giant sieve from two towering bamboo poles, it ruled the estuaries of Manila Bay when Parañaque was still a rustic fishing village. Working like a primitive but undeniably ingenious (and definitely more environment-friendly) trawler, it made coastal fishing more efficient, thus boosting the local fishing community’s productivity and, for many years, helped the town’s early economic growth.
