PANAG-ULI
PANAG-ULI
When the man and woman have agreed to marry, the man conducts the panagpudno, in which he calls on his future parents-in-law to ask for their consent. The panag-uli also known as pamamanhikan is a subsequent meeting that includes the suitor’s relatives and his panglakayen (spokesman), who negotiates with the parents on the sab-ong (bride price), the sagut (the cost of the bridal trousseau), and the parawad (the suitor’s token gift to his prospective mother-in-law). The sab-ong is in the form of cash or property, such as a piece of land or a farm animal.
