    AsinTibuok making is a unique process of making salt and is innate to a Boholano asindero and no other process is similar to it anywhere in the world.

    As one becomes more ‘accepted’ into the Asindero community, one finds more traditions in salt farming that are rarely spoken with outsiders. Mrs. Salvacion, age 82 and the oldest of the Asinderos, talked about songs of the Asinderos as they harvest the salt when she was young until transistor radios made them fade from memory.
