As Spunjer and Nacho said (who are both from Iloilo, Panay), it's a binangon ... pronounced bee-NUH-ngon, the last syllable pronounced a la Klingon in Star Trek

Unfortunately the art of working with carabao horn has been largely lost, as Nacho said. Am planning though to visit one off-the-beaten-path island in the Philippines where the tradition is supposed to be still alive ... not sure if the report is true, but we'll see later.
