Known as tudung or tudong (Applay and Ibaloy) and takochug (Bontoc), this rain protection gear is made of dried pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius), or what is locally known in Ifugao as ga-ad (Hamilton, 1998). The rattan strips were sewn into the inner and outer sections of the cape to keep the leaves together, while the frame of the cape was made of curved rattan sticks.

In many parts of the Cordillera region, women frequently used baskets like this as rain capes and, occasionally, as burden baskets to carry locally grown produce and harvested goods (Hamilton, 1998). This kind of basket works well as a rain cape, keeping the muck that covers the roots of the rice seedlings from dripping down when the seedlings are being transplanted. Furthermore, smaller versions of this basket were usually used as dirt scoopers.
