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.

Pidjanga notes: Tana an ato mga iskuylahan sa Mainit, internet-based na sanan maka-avail nan mga innovative technological projects amo ra nan inin sa Google. I think it is really doable... it will just be a 1) recognition of the need by the Municipal Council together with the principals of the different schools, 2) backed up by the political will of the Mayor, and 3) strong technical and financial support of the Pidjanga community both here and abroad... kaya ini.
