Manuel Razo The technology at that time which could be considered advance at that time. Very innovative.
Marissa Ibarra Villegas I remember my grandfather had one of these. The flattened canes were dried under the sun and used as firewood in cooking the cane juice into pulot. the cooked pulot is then poured into coconut shells where they harden, called tinaklob. The tinaklob are sold to sugar mills for refining into white sugar granules.
Rainier V. Almazan This crude sugar cane juice making machine is called trapiche in Filipino. Pinaiikot yan ng kalabaw. Yung katas ang ginagawang molasses at muscovado. Those were the days before the advent of the big sugar milling plants.
- Marissa Ibarra Villegas Yeah, Lyd... kabyawan, indeed! Grandmom would save some of the cane juice in big clay jars and let it ferment under their nipa house. I was amazed that it took worms to do the work of turning sweet cane juice to vinegar.
Lydia Agravio My Inkong had one like that too. We call it kabyawan. We were in constant supply of "inuyat" and "tinaklob". I liked it
