Binukot is a word for confinement, seclusion, or restriction. The root word Bukot means be blanketing, swaddling of oneself. This was a pre-hispanic exercise which still exist up to this day in some part of the country. Nanay Lucing, was one of the daughters of the Binukot, her mother was obviously a Binukot, but nanay Lucing however was not in her time. She is a wife of GAMABA   awardee Federcio Caballero, a prominent chanter of Sugidanon. Federico Caballero or Tatay Pedring,  is a Sulod-Bukidnon epic chanter from Kalinog, Iloilo.
