The abaniko is common accessory for the [baro't saya](/source/baro't_saya), the traditional ladies’ attire. Various ways of using and holding the abaniko may convey different meanings. For example, an open abaniko that covers the chest area is a sign of modesty, while rapid fan movements express the lady's displeasure.<ref>http://www.diwa.ph/kaluskos/pdfs/back/81/KLS3_1.pdf{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Kaluskos (Filipino)</ref>

Abaniko is sometimes referred to as ''[pamaypáy](/source/pamaypay)'', though the term actually refers to the non-folding, native hand fan of woven [buri](/source/buri_palm) or [anahaw](/source/anahaw) leaves.<ref name="scalice">{{cite thesis |type=MSc |last=Scalice |first=Joseph |date=2009 |title=Pasyon, Awit, Legend: Reynaldo Ileto's Pasyon and Revolution Revisited, a critique |publisher=University of California, Berkeley}}</ref>
