TaboNET is a proposed new sport that uses two tabo (water dippers commonly found in Filipino homes) as rackets and a nylon net skin scrubber as the object to hit back and forth, similar to badminton or tennis. The tabo presents a physical challenge to use as a racket compared to a traditional sports racket. Additionally, the nylon net scrubber is less bouncy than a shuttlecock or tennis ball, adding difficulty. The goal is to play by hitting the scrubber back and forth between the two tabo "rackets" like in badminton or tennis.

- 2. Tabo (Water Dipper) Tabo is sometimes translated into English as a dipper, but that translation is weak. The tabo is more, much more, than a water dipper. The plastic tabo is an almost indispensable fixture in the Filipino home, so much so that even Filipinos living overseas will bring their own tabo, or if they forget one, ask relatives to send one over. The plastic tabo is kept mainly in the toilet, used as a water dipper for various functions. The operative word is clean: You use it to get water to clean the toilet floor. You use it as well to get water to flush the toilet. Most importantly though, it is used to get water for personal cleanliness: for washing the hands, for shampooing, for bathing the whole body, or for cleaning more intimate parts of the body. The tabo is our version of the French bidet, with many Filipinos actually preferring a tabo dousing to toilet paper, the latter being considered inadequate or even dirty. http://opinion.inquirer.net/5401/%E2%80%98tabo%E2%80%99-culture
