PIDJANGA of Mainit, Surigao Norte: 2007 Undas in Mainit

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.

Thank you so much MON (Cyber Monyx, JMLibarnes) for this delightful treat... sending us warm photos of the November 1-2 holidays in Mainit. Salamat karadjaw Mon!

Thank you too for including special photos of my family i.e. my ever loving Tita Flor (puti na intawon ija buhok), my beloved brother John Karachi (Concon), and of course Kuya Toto's wife, Ate Elvie.

I saw a number of personalities too... PIDJANGAs, can you name them?
