The llavavo of the Geonaga family is an antique wash table made from lauaan wood. It features a four-legged table with a circular hole for a basin.

It was first acquired by Benjamin Geonanga for the first Sacrament of Confirmation in Santa Ana, Nueva Valencia, where it was used by Bishop James Paul McCloskey, the first Bishop of Jaro. It was inherited by Mrs. Felomina Geonaga Gedallanga and is considered a heritage item. Although it has faded paint and missing parts, it remains in relatively good condition.
