askals or aspins are mongrel dogs in the Philippines. The name "askal" is a Tagalog-derived portmanteau of asong kalye or "street dog" because these dogs are commonly seen in streets. The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) has suggested the alternative term Aspin, short for asong Pinoy (Pinoy dog). In Cebuano, mongrel dogs are called irong Bisaya, which literally means "Bisayandog", implying that these are not thought of as a mixed-breed dog so much as unbred mongrels with no purebred ancestors. Physically, the dogs have " all shapes, configurations and sizes.
