Being in a filipino family, my Mom told me about the many ways grandma (her Mom) would "dicipline" her. She would get on her knees ontop of a bed of rice, and hold a heavy object in her hands (I forgot what were they) and stay like that for a while.
When I was small, we'd used to get slappings, but on occasion, if we really screw up or talk back to them, we'd get either a back scratcher (Arakawas had a lot of those) or if need be, my Dad would bust out his 1-2 inch thick belt for the serious ones.
All of the boys in the family had the belt at one time (mine was talking back to my Dad about my grades) but my sister didn't experience that (probably because she's a girl).
