Lilaktub - also known as Lilagtob (or nilaktob) originates from the Kalinga province.
Its patterns are characterized by a distinct honeycomb shape. The design is inspired by the "inammata" design, which symbolizes an eye used to ward off evil. These act as protective talismans, similar to Kalinga tattoo patterns.
Worn during festivities, it is traditionally given as a community token ("lilay") to partner tribes during "bodong" (peace pact) celebrations.
