(from the Spanish word abanico, meaning fan) is a type of hand-held fan that originated from the Philippines.
it is also the name given to a striking blow, resembling a fanning motion, that is used in the martial art of Eskrima.
The pamaypay is a very beautiful work of art. A relief on a crowded place, or simply providing refreshment on a hot, humid day, the colorful abaniko is an indispensable item in a Pinoy's everyday life. The pamaypay symbolizes our ingenuity and resourcefulness and the colorful and cheerful outlook of our barangay and its people.
