Anok

Anok is a term used in Lucban for miniature dummy, a mannequin that depicts a farmer.  It is displayed during the Pahiyas, complete with a farmers outfit and complimented with farm tools such as bolo and salakot.  The creativity of Lucbanins are evident with the way the anok is presented.  Some are animated and in fact live persons act as anok to the delight and surprise of onlookers, as the anok moves.
