Cleaning our homes is part of our daily routine. In the Philippines, we have walis tambo (soft whisk broom) and walis tingting (broomsticks) a very native and unique product made to sweep the floor. Did you know that the word "walis" define as to sweep. Filipinos made walis tambo which come from phragmitesor grass used in indoor and smooth floor while walis tingting is made from coconut midribs which generally used in outdoor yard. Both are convenient to use and become ubiquitous.

Let me share a food for thought: you cannot easily clean using only one piece of a broomstick that's why we need to gather them and tie it as one just like the old saying you cannot do anything by yourself but if we help each other and we will stand as one then we can do many things for the better but of course with the help of God Almighty. I believe that without God you cannot do anything.
