Tboli Spear 

This fishing spear is found in some of the provinces in Mindanao and the Tboli group, who dwell by Lake Sebu. The spear is made of bamboo and is around 130 meters long. The end is blunt while the tip is cut to produce two sharp prongs. The sharpened pointed tips are lashed into the main handle using dark rattan strips. In other places, such as the Manobo, the bamboo spearheads may be changed into iron, or may also have more prongs.
