Palawan traditional healer, a woman, who assists during childbirth. Her responsibilities include catching the infant as it is delivered, coordinating with the maninikeg whether the placenta has been expelled or not, and expressing whether she thinks there is some aring that has been retained. She also cuts the umbilical cord, places the inulunan (placenta) in the denoman (bamboo water container), bathes the infant, and washes the mother.
