The Phillipines' traditional circumcision ritual. Usually done during the tweens and early teens, it signifies that the "boy" is a boy no longer but a man.
Two things about it:
One, contrary to what Intactivists would say the Philippines circumcision isn't a full removal of the foreskin but a superincision. That would mean that the foreskin would still be in a sense, intact.
Two, unfortunately a stigma surrounding uncut males is present in the Philippines. It is quite unfortunate that it exists in this day and age.
Tuli is often translated to circumcision even though it isn't really a circumcision.

far from urban life. Used in the form, "out in the tulies" or "waaaay out in the tulies." Someone can be "from the tulies"--same meaning as "from the sticks." The term comes from the tulie rush, a country plant that is (or used to be) common in moist areas of US west coast states, but does not thrive in or near cities.
