PUSO
In the Tagalog language, puso means "heart." It is rice wrapped in coconut leaves shaped like a diamond. To make the puso, coconut leaves are first weaved into diamond shells leaving a hole where uncooked rice is poured before sealing the shells and putting them on a large pot filled with water and putting them over the fire. The making of pusô requires a degree of thinking that is only earned through practice and learning from people specializing in the craft. The puso is also popularly known as "Hanging Rice."
