What can you say about this?
You know you're a true blue Ilonggo if ...
-Your one peso is pisos.
-You take a bath using a tabo which you call Caltex.
-Your bathroom has at least one lugod (some has one for every
family member).
-Your nanay used to make you drink Mirinda or Royal Tru Orange when
you have a fever, which is supposed to make you feel better.
-Sinamak is a staple in your dining table (the best Ilonggo
invention if you ask me, was even banned on airplanes long before
911).
-Your toyo is patis and your patis is toyo.
-You use atsuete for your adobo and pinamalhan (pinaksiw)
-Your daily meal will likely include laswa, kbl,(kadyos, baboy,
langka),ginat- an nga tambo with tugabang and okra, ginat-an nga
munggo,linutik, apan-apan, etc.
-November 1 means eating ibus, suman, suman latik,kalamay- hati, baye-
baye, valenciana or other native delicacies with glutinous
rice and coconut milk.
-You call those you love palangga, pangga, langga or ga.
-You call your siblings or cousins inday, nonoy or toto...the
househelp may all call you the same.
-You call those who are older than you manang or manong.
-You catch the attention of sales attendants by calling them "day"
or "to."
-Your childhood games include tumba patis, taksi, panagu-ay, balay-
balay, ins, tin-tin baka, etc.
-You used to be (or still are) scared to go out at night lest you
meet the aswang, tik-tik, tayhu, kapre, kama-kama, morto,etc.
-You used to listen (or still listen) to Provincial Jail, Sin-o Ang
May Sala, Lain Siya Sa Iban, and Toyang Ermitanya.
-Your grandparents read Yuhum (or Hiligaynon) magazine.
-You call a person, thing, place and event kwan when you forget it
(si kwan, ang kwan, sa kwan bala haw). And expect the one you're
talking to understands what in the name of heaven you're blabbering
about. (hahaha, so true, haha!)
-You used to sleep in an aboy-aboy made of patadyong when you were a
baby(probably applies only to us below the poverty line)
-You understand that "Particulars Keep Out" sign means outsiders
keep out (believe me, this sign may look and sound English but only
Ilonggos use it).
-You use words such as "ahay" (expression of pity, grief,
empathy), "yuga" (expression of disbelief, surprise), "ambot ah" (to
say you don't know, expression of impatience; when you wanna shake
off someone makulit).
-You often start your sentence with ti.
-You invite friends, family members, guests or particularly anybody
to eat with these statements, "Kaon ta-e or Kaon ta anay."
-You say goodbye by saying "halong."
Guilty? You are indeed a TRUE Ilonggo!
