(Binukot is a Filipino cultural practice that secludes a young person (all known accounts are of a young woman) with the expectation that seclusion will result in a higher value placed on the individual by marital suitors in the future. The practice originated in the pre-Hispanic Philippines but continues to this day. It was most recently practiced by the Panay Bukidnon people, who keep women from the public eye beginning in childhood. The Binukot is isolated by her parents from the rest of the household at 3 or 4 years old. She is not exposed to the sun, is not allowed to work, and is even accompanied by her parents when she takes a bath. This results in a fair, frail, fine-complexioned, and long-haired woman. As she stays at home most of the time, her parents and grandparents entertain her with various oral lore and traditional dances. This makes the Binukot excellent epic chanters and repositories of their history. The tradition persists that the Binukot must not be seen by any man from childhood until puberty. Only the family members and the female servants, called apid, may come face-to-face with her. To keep her away from men's eyes, as well as shield her from the sun, she bathes in the river in the evening. A makeshift enclosure may also be made for her in the river for this purpose. No man would dare to look at a Binukot as there is a threat of punishment by death to anyone who violates her by looking. A Binukot is not allowed to do heavy work but may weave in her room. She is provided female servants to do other work for her. When a Binukot is ready for marriage at 13 or 14, or even younger, her parents ask for a high pangayu (bride price or dowry) from the family of the suitor. Jealously and zealously guarded, the maiden, with her beauty and high pangayu, brings prestige to the family and livestock. Even when the suitor visits her, the parents do the entertaining and she is kept inside her room-but she can show the tip of a fingernail. However, though very occasionally, she is bought by her parents to big gatherings such as weddings where young men could appreciate her beauty and she could perform a ritual dance.)
