buy-o - ( búy-o ; Sambali [Botolan, Zambales] condiment /seasoning) [ n. ] Botolan salt in woven nipa palm container . The palm leaves are sewn together and shaped to look like a cylindrical fat bottle. The round frame at the base is made of palm frond. The strips used in stitching the palms could be thin strips of bamboo, rattan bark, or the bark of nipa palm frond.  The tip of the container is tapered to look like the mouth of PET bottles, folded and secured tightly with a strip, which is then cut off or loosened to open to be able to get the salt inside.  The floor at the base is made of latticed palm midribs or straw lined with a sheet of food-grade sack that allows the salt to breath inside.  A handle is attached on the side that is made of bent bamboo stick or hemp rope that loops upward.  The salt inside is densely packed that after some time, it would harden and has to be scraped off.
