Yesterday, while on my way home on a cab, I called home for Rose to help me carry the groceries I just bought. I was talking to her in Ilonggo, and after the conversation, the driver asked me instantly from where I was. So I told him I'm from Iloilo. Surprisingly, he's from Capiz, the province beside Iloilo with the same language. That just goes to show that Ilonggas and Ilonggos are dominating Manila! Bwahaha... Jok Lang!
Anyway, eto mga ilonggo words na kelangan mong matutunan:
Bu-ang: Baliw
Putyong: Supot (uncircumcised)
Agi: Bakla
Mangô: Bobo
In-tô: Uto-uto

Adventures and Misadventures sang isa ka Ilongga sa Manila
Ilongga In Manila
Let me share with you my journeys as I discover more about the Philippines and its wonders. You will find interesting places I've visited here in the Philippines, and may this guide you in your own journeys. I've included Philippine vacation spots I've visited, Restaurants in the Philippines I've dined at, interesting places I've been to, and even my thoughts on Philippine mentality and Philippine politics.
I always remember my roots. And being an Ilongga, I want to share our dialect (Hiligaynon) with everyone. I hope it somehow bridges the communication gap between all Filipinos.
Enjoy your stay and please, let us explore the Philippines together!
