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

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

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

Pagkanindot

I've been looking for the complete lyrics of this very beautiful Visayan song which I first heard in the hinterlands of Mount Kitanglad of Bukidnon. I was there in 1997 on a month-long mission with the now Jesuit Priest, Fr. Jonjee Sumpaico, SJ.

Here's an excerpt:
Kay luyo sa mga panganod, Nagasidlak ang adlaw....

Pagkanindot palandungon
Ang mga nangaging panahon
Kaguol man kun kalipay
Ang tanan ay lumalabay

Pagkanindot nga mabuhi
Kun adunay ginamithi
O gugmang way katapusan
O gugmang hilabihan
I would love if an MP3 version is also available.

A Singing Pidjanga Priest - Fr. Ricky, MSC

I told you, we have great Pidjanga singers and composers. Naghuyat ra an iban kurukon!

Here's some of the many that Fr. Ricky Bermudez, MSC, a Pidjanga, composed and personally arranged and rendered via YouTube.

People the World Needs


Aurora , City of Lights



Hear or watch more of his compositions here.

I remember Fr. Ricky as one of the altar boys in Mainit and the man on the keyboards leading the choir during Sunday masses officiated by Fr. Peter Rosenhart, MSC (circa late 1980s) . I believe Jomarie is also a product of the Mainit Parish choir.
