What Is Panot? (Answers)
PANOT – The word panót often describes somebody who is unattractive. However, there’s a bit of history to this than just an insult.
In English, this word means a “tonsure” or a shaved part of the head. Some religious sectors practice “tonsure”, the act pf shaving some or all of the hair on the scalp. This was also a sign that you were a devout of your religion or a sign of humility.
However, in the Philippines, panót does not mean “bald”. When your hair is fully shaved, that means you are “kalbo”. Meanwhile, if you are panót, only a part of your scalp is balding with some hair still left.
Sadly, if you are tagged as panót in the Philippines, you likely have one of the first tell-tell signs of aging. So in summary, being panót, doesn’t necessarily being bald, rather, the state in which you are balding.
In the Philippines, having a panót is usually considered unattractive to many. Meanwhile, the term “panutan” means to shave somebody else’s hair.
