Atang (food offering)

An atang is a traditional food offering in the Philippines to ward off evil spirits. The most common atang to ward off sickness is a rice cake called sinukat. A table with an atang meal may be put in a new house. An atang may also be for a harvest offering. Ilocanos may prepare an atang before each meal. The atang may also be called a "santorum" or "panang". The atang meal may be associated in some ceremonies with dance.
