Our history. Our culture. Our environment. Our future.
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.
Wooden bridges
Around 10-20 years ago, most of the bridges in Mainit look like this. Some even had nipa huts built around it which act as waiting sheds.

The wooden bridge, it's old but look refreshing. I will just close my eyes and I can feel the cool breeze blowing, I can hear the whispers of water rushing under, I can see the sun flicker as it reflect from the wet pebble stones lying in the river bed.
