The Tagalog word for "luffa"-- a small genus of tropical Old World gourds, whose dried fibrous skeleton is popularly used for scrubbing the skin, is "patola". However, in the Philippines this will generally be taken to refer to the fresh fruit, since its primary use there is as an edible vegetable rather than a toilet item. If you mean to refer specifically to the dried item, use "pinatuyong patola" -- dried luffa.
