The pot I’m referring to was a clay pot - a container, typically rounded or cylindrical and of ceramic ware or metal, used for storage or cooking. I also meant thurible instead of incense.
What on earth could be wrong with that? There’s nothing specifying what the thurible should be made from or look like.
 
If Rome has serious concerns then they’ll reject it out of hand. However, if they don’t do this but also don’t explicitly approve it, then it means they’re not too fussed but also don’t want to encourage others to get bright ideas of their own.
I guess it’s not a problem if it’s only once a year at some conference. Personally I hope it does not get an approval.
 
It can’t have much support. My wife is filipino and I asked her and also her sisters and nobody has heard of this.
 
It actually was received by the Holy See.

As a point of procedure, the Holy See doesn’t approve of changes to the mass if those changes are outside of the specific liturgical norms. In this case, the cultural changes to the Mass do not take place within the firm liturgical rubric that the Holy See has set in place for those native Churches adapting the Mass to the local customs. In these cases when the changes fall outside the Holy See’s rubrics, then the official changes are approved within the local Episcopal conferences and the Holy See simply receives them. This happened for the Misa ng Sambayanang Pilipino in 1991. This is also a similar process for the Holy See accepting the American tradition for Extraordinary Ministers of Communion to bless (not with the host) those who do not wish to receive the Blessed Sacrament during the Mass.
 
Like I said in another post, rubrics like the Misa ng Sambayanang Pilipino are not ‘approved’ by Rome if they do not violate the Liturgical rubrics for inculturation. They are approved by the local Episcopal conference and then received by Rome. Only violations of liturgical norms are ‘approved’ or ‘disapproved’ by the Holy See and in those cases, a detailed explanation why accompanies the verdict.
 
Really good video explaining its formation from Inculturation

I didn’t see any mention in the video of the claim made in the OP that people would pass Holy Communion to each other, unless it was brief and I missed it?
