Decorative ‘boho chic’ bilao selling for over P2,000 online

This may seem like an April Fool's joke, but it's not a prank and it's very real: a very sosy bilao is being sold online on Etsy for $38 or P2,021.28.

For reference, an order of "Pancit Malabon Bilao Super Big" (good for 25 people) costs P1,100. 

Facebook user Jacob Walse-Domínguez posted about this find on Wednesday and GMA News Online on Saturday found the same item still available for purchasing.

Roselle of Seaside Rose Creations calls the item a "Round Rattan Tray Boho Chic Wicker Tray Woven Bamboo Bohemian Wall Hanging Rustic Decor." The item is further described as a "vintage mid century modern woven tray with elements of wicker, rattan and bamboo."

Buyers are advised that "reeds are in good condition with a few loose, due to age."
