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.

By the way, it seems that the top five councilors (click here) of the Pidjanga mock election held last month indeed joined the race this year. The tandems for mayoralty and vice-mayoralty race also did turn out to be the official tandems for the election.

I just wish that the top five ISSUES raised by the Pidjanga readers would be also be the main issues to to be raised and supported by these candidates.

(Top Issues to Address: 1. Livelihood / Employment for Mainitnon; 2. Tourism; 3. Completion of Public Market; 4. Concreting of Roads; 5. Peace and Order)
