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.

Batch 1991 at 2008 MNHS Alumni

So glad to finally see the photos of my Batchmates during the recently concluded 2008 MNHS Grand Alumni Homecoming. Thanks to Verna Mosende Manliguez for uploading the photos in our Pidjanga Multiply.

During the opening parade, my batchmates in full Batch Uniform. (Thanks to sponsors especially to Ana Lauron-Bedell, who despite injuring her ankle and braving the wintry Boston neighborhood, found some time to send in her contributions, and of course to other anonymous donors which made our batch reunion very successful. Special thanks to Konsehal Nonong for coordinating, labina pagtapal nan mga kuyang... hehehe!)
