The patadyong (pronounced pa-tad-jóng, also called patadyung, habol, or habul), is a pre-Hispanic rectangular or tube-like wraparound skirt worn by both men and women of the Visayas islands and the Sulu Archipelago. It was also historically worn in parts of Luzon like Pampanga and Sorsogon.[1][2][3][4]
In the precolonial era, it was usually worn with a barú or bayú, a simple collar-less shirt or jacket with close-fitting long sleeves.[2][5] During the Spanish period, this evolved into the kimona, a variant of the baro't saya worn by Christianized Visayan lowlanders consisting of a loose translucent blouse, an undershirt, and a patadyong or a patadyong-patterned skirt.[6][7]
The patadyong is identical to the malong used in mainland Mindanao, but is longer than the tapis of Luzon; it is also similar to the sarong of neighboring Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia.[1] Its name means "straight [in shape]" in Visayan languages, from the root word tadlong, "[to go] straight"; its alternative name "habol" or "habul" means "woven [textile]", though it usually means "blanket" in modern Visayan.[2]
