Pidjanga

(Glossogobius giuris) is a freshwater fish native to Mainit Lake. It is called “biya” in Tagalog and “white goby or tank goby” in English. The term “pidjanga” is also sometimes fondly used to refer to the Mainitnons, the people of the Municipality of Mainit, a town in Southern Philippines. This blog hopes to capture potentials of Migrants Pidjangas for the Development of our Town by attempting to document development issues, folk stories, and current concerns, about the Pidjanga — both the fish and the people.

THat should be your resource. Anyway, I was just looking for other possible establishments in the days of yore aside from those institution pasted on the screen.

I am not Mainit-based so I don't have much photos of establishments in stock (resource).

But, I'll ask around.

I got another one, actually and its posted in http://pidjanga.blogspot.com/2005/12/negosyong-pinijanga-03.html.

If you happen to be home (or visit our town), MDO will appreciate photos that you'll take. We'll be glad to post these here.

Cheers!
