Tu-ob sang Baroto is a traditional coastal ritual practiced in Batad, Iloilo, and nearby towns to bless fishing boats and seek protection and abundance from sea spirits. Performed mainly on Tuesdays and Fridays, it involves burning herbs, coconut husks, and incense to create purifying smoke around the boats while offering prayers to ancestral and sea deities. The ritual reflects a deep spiritual bond between coastal communities and the sea, symbolizing respect, survival, and ancestral ties. Despite its continued practice, challenges such as youth migration, environmental changes, and modern influences pose threats to its survival.
