The Maguindanaon and the Banuwaen use it in the rice paddies to guard against voracious birds, using the sound it produces to scare them away.

Pictures of kagul and its other derivatives
The rhythms were usually simplistic in nature, consisting of one rhythmic pattern sometimes combined with another. Use of the kagul in the former way is no longer practiced. Also called tagutok (Maranao), bantula or tagungtung (Bukidnon) and kuratung (Banuwaen).
