Common card · No. 447777

Tubâ (Tagalog pronunciation: [tʊˈbaʔ]) is a traditional Filipino palm wine made from the naturally fermented nectar of various species of palm trees. During the Spanish colonial period, tubâ was introduced to Guam, the Marianas, and Mexico via the Manila galleons. It remains popular in Mexico, especially in the states of Colima, Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Guerrero. Tubâ was also introduced to the Torres Strait Islands of Australia in the mid-19th century by Filipino immigrant workers in the pearling industry.
