Bangca

A Banga or Bangca is a type of boat used in the Philippines for fishing and transporting passengers. They are constructed with a long thin central hull and a solid, buoyant, horizontal wooden skid, named an outrigger, 1 to 3 metres from both sides of the hull.

Bangas are often paddled or powered by a car engine driving a propeller.
