Machetes

Our house in the red savannah outskirts of Quezon City stood by a cliff. Near that cliff was a bushy area, which the maids cut back with machetes. There were intriguing vines with spade-shaped purple leaves. They might have been tuber plants.

Ziri put away the machetes and guns.

With the site being uninhabited, many areas were only accessible via canoe or by cutting paths through the jungle with machetes.
