Pandanaceae is recognized for its diverse traditional uses in many tropical countries. In the Philippines, little has been documented regarding its use and significance in rural communities. This study explores the ethnobotanical uses of Pandanaceae species in five target areas to perceive the transfer and dispersal of traditional plant knowledge within the communities. Results suggest a good transfer and dispersal of traditional knowledge within the members of its respective communities, with females and elder informants generally displaying extensive plant knowledge. Different localities exhibit specialized uses of Pandanaceae plants. Eight species are documented, of which six are endemic species. Highest use-values (UV ≥ 1) come from Pandanus tectorius, P. luzonensis, and P. radicans, owing to their diverse ethnobotanical uses. Most medicinal Pandanaceae are used to treat genitourinary diseases, primarily urinary tract infection. Pandanus amaryllifolius, P. radicans, and Sararanga philippinensis serve as food, commonly used as rice flavoring and as different viands. The leaves of all species, except P. amaryllifolius, are sources of material for woven-products and crafts. Despite the communities’ heavy reliance on Pandanaceae species, good management and harvesting practices are being observed, allowing these economically important plants to thrive abundantly in their area.

露兜树科以其在许多热带国家的传统用途广泛而闻名。在菲律宾，关于其在农村社区中的用途和意义的文献很少。这项研究探索了在五个目标区域中潘丹科的植物学植物学用途，以了解传统植物知识在社区内的转移和传播。结果表明，传统知识在其各自社区内的传承和传播良好，雌性和年长的线人通常显示出广泛的植物知识。不同地区展示了露兜树科植物的特殊用途。记录了八种，其中六种是特有种。最高使用值（UV≥1）来自林投，P. luzonensis，和P. radicans，由于其民族植物学用途广泛。大多数药用潘丹科被用于治疗泌尿生殖系统疾病，主要是尿路感染。露兜树属，P. radicans和Sararanga philippinensis作为食物，常用的调味饭和不同肴。除P. amaryllifolius外，所有物种的叶子都是机织产品和手工艺品的材料来源。尽管社区严重依赖露兜树科物种，但仍观察到良好的管理和收割方法，这使这些对经济具有重要意义的植物在其所在地区得以繁衍生息。
