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.

“MAINIT”
(Kami Mouli Ra)
Music & Lyrics by: Brandon Juan

BAGAN KAGAN-O RA NAN KITA NAMANAW
NANGANDOY, NANGITA NAN KARADJAWAN
LUPA NA NATAWHAN MASAKIT MAN TAGBIDJAAN
PARA HANAPON AN ATO KAPALARAN

LUNGSOD NA MAGARBOHON PERMI KAW TAGDUMDOM
NAGHATAG SA TANAN NAN PAGLAUM
KAY SA KADA ADLAW NA PAGPANINGKAMOT
IKAW NA PINAYANGGA, AN PINASIDUNGGAN

KORO:
MAINIT KATAGHUM, KAMI TAGMINGAW NA
BISAN KON HALADJO DJARI KAW SA HUNA-HUNA
LUNGSOD KONG NATAWHAN KAMI MOULI RA
PARA DAD-ON DIMO AN TANAN NA KALAMPUSAN

UGSA KITA TANAN, ANGAY MAG-IBAN-IBAN
ISINGGIT IPASIGARBO, MAINITNON KAW
KAY AN ATO LUGAR MAHAMOK AN TANGGANAHAN
DANAW, LUPA, MABUNGAHON MGA TAWO MAUTOKANON

(Repeat KORO 2x)

CODA:
MAINIT O MAINIT KAMI MOULI RA
PARA DAD-ON DIMO AN TANAN NA KALAMPUSAN
