Ipu-ipo means what?

• A. Another term for a whirlwind or tornado.
• B. Sound of a bell or signal.
• C. Anchor used to secure a ship.
• D. National law governing the Philippines.

Answer: (A)

Ipu-ipo denotes a moving wind phenomenon that swirls and can create a tornado-like effect. The term is used to describe a whirlwind or twisting wind, a specific natural event rather than a sound, an object, or a law. That each of the other options points to something entirely different—a bell sound, an anchor, or a national law—helps confirm that the wind-related meaning is the match. For memory, think of ipu-ipo as the spinning, gusty force of nature, not a sound, tool, or rule.
