Tungog (from which katunggan, another term for mangrove is derived) is also used as the fermenting agent for bahalina, a special variety of tuba that gets mellower with age, unlike ordinary tuba. It is produced only in Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and Samar. Tuba is also combined with a carbonated drink (Royal TruOrange) and beer into a cocktail called mestiza. Old women drink tuba mixed with tsokolate (made from cacao beans) every evening to ease tensed muscles. Tungog is also believed to cure anem ia. Because of the great demand for tungog cutch, especially in eastern Visayas, the region has to import hundreds of tons of cutch yearly from as far away as Zam boanga and Sabah in North Borneo.
