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.

Sibsib

Nilamaway, sinugbahay, sinibsibay, tinuhilay... grabe na habhab.

Otso ka motor namagsunod pasingud nan Paco. Badja, amo pa man badja ako makaabot nan Paco. Duha ra kapun-an... busog panlamaw. Bagan upat ka butong an ako nahurot.

Magka alas-onse, dretso nan Mansajao. Nagdaya nan tilapia, tag-adobo. Nakakita nan kagang sanan pasayan isa ka planggana, tag-lapwahan, pinamaya. May sobra na litson nan graduation, tagpaksiw. Ibanan nan saging, nilaga. Alas-dos naka-paniudto.

Dunggo an baroto, may unom ka taro na ige. Balik kami nan Mainit, daya an isa ka balde. Taglapwahan. Balor P20 na ginamos, balor P10 na sili, iska taro na saging sanan kamote. Tinuhilay.

Pagkasilom... nakasugba ra gadjud nan Pidjanga (kay tabo man sa Magpayang). Mag-nagdaya nan palaka, tag-gat-an... sibsib na isab.
