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.

Minainit - Sambojat, Sambonijat, Samburyat

Unoy buot pasabot nan minainit na Sambojat, Sambonijat, Samburyat?

An ako GUESS. an root word nan iton "buyat". Probably, sa panahon ni Mahomir, an kaupad ni Metusellah, may Mainitnon na taglang-an an isa ra sab ka Mainitnon. "Uno may tagsan-buyat mo?" basin nagsambuyat nan banig kay 1) tagtuyog na!, 2) puluho, sige ra gusto highdaay! 3) talatala - nagsambuyat ra lamang nan way hinungdan!

Hangtud nuabot sa panahon ni Popo Saturnino sa Daang Lungsod... ini na expression nahinang na "Unoy may sambuyat mo?" referring to anything "foolish" or "stupidity" or "useless" activities.

Nakay an "y" hinangon ta man na "j"... matud pa sa "Balaod nan Pinijanga na Sinultihan" sama sa "bayad - badjad", etc... nahinang an "sambuyat" nan "sambudjat or "sambujat". Sa panahon na ato na hin-abtan... nuhamok na an ija versions "sambunidjat - bagan superlative", "samburyat - hmmm may influence an hapon kay may r", etc.

Sa panahon nan jejemon sanan beckimon... mahinang na ini na "samburjey", "samburjenettes", etc.

So ajaw na pagkatingaya kun may maglaong dimo "Witchebelles may samburjeys nitey na Pidjangamon". Wapak!
