Panching
Panching was called the smallest fruit size on the Sulu Islands in the extreme southwest of the Philippines .
It is said to have been the amount of half a coconut shell . The larger measure, the Rehga / Raga / Raza, was widely used as a grain measure . The weights were very similar to the Chinese measures, but with different names.
- 8 panchings = 1 gantang
- 10 gantangs = 1 raza / raga
- 2 ½ razas = 1 Chinese pecul
- 1 pecul = 72.172 kilograms
The dimensional chain was
- 1 pecul = 2 laksas = 20 booboot = 100 catty; 1 Catty = 16 Tales = 100 Ammas = 1000 Choosok
A Gantang rice was calculated with the weight of 4 Chinese Cattis / Kättis.
