Asin Tibuok

(Asin Tibo-ok)
One of the Rarest Salt in the World was included in a list of endangered heritage foods.

" “(Tibuok means) whole, unbroken,” says Msngr. Crisologo Manongas, a priest in Zamboanga City who is also the second to the youngest of the Manongas family, one of the two remaining families that continue to produce asin tibuok today. “Our family, since before I was born, was already engaged in traditional salt making. It’s like a cottage industry in our town.”

The Manongas family’s asinan, or salt making facility, is located in Eastern Poblacion, Albuquerque, Bohol. “Our family, since before I was born, was already engaged in traditional salt making. It’s like a cottage industry in our town,” he narrated via phone interview. “And we’re the only ones left.

When I was young, there were about 200 saltmaking cottages here along the shore, extending three towns, a portion of Baclayon, a little portion of the next town, which is Loay, but the majority of the saltmakers were from our town.” "
