Original post April 1, 2024:
Pa rant. 1 year na kami sa insurance namin. Tapos Na ospital husband ko due to heart attack. Napasa lahat requirements, pag may hinihingi bigay agad. Nakaabang kami palagi sa emails. After 15 days, sabi may kulang pa raw. After 15 days, nadagdagan ang requirements. Ngayon almost a month na under evaluation pa rin?
Bakit ganon? Isa lang ba ang nagaasikaso sa claims dept?! Sana inuna lang muna yung daily hospital income para makabili lang man ng meds. Anyare? Pa hype lang ba sa umpisa? Top1 to sa lahat ng insurance ha. Di puchu puchu to pero parang pagong kumilos kapag may claim na. 🤬

im a college student. halos 2 years na akong nagboboard malapit lang dito sa school namin. during saturday afternoon lang ako umuuwi, ang pasok ko is monday to saturday. reason bakit ako umuuwi kahit isang araw lang ang day off? kasi ang ingay ingay ng putanginang kapitbahay namin.
isipin mo DALAWANG TAON, umaga gabi yan sila walang tigil sa welding, inaabot yan sila 10pm mahigit. so malaking distraction talaga sila especially kung nag-aaral ako for exams or quizzes or kung magpapahinga lang ako kasi nga gabi diba? oras na ng pahinga yun. imbis makapagpahinga ako ng maayos, buong gabi akong gising dahil sa bwakanangshit na ingay nila.
saka wtf, dalawang taon? hindi pa ba kayo tapos dyan? mga pagong ba kayo in ur past life? sa galit ko one time, hinampas ko ung pader na nagseseparate samin gamit ung makapal kong modern medical guide na libro, mga 2.5 inches lang naman. tigil sila agad eh.
ako na nabingi sa ingay ng winewelding nila, ikaw ba naman umaga gabi yan maririnig mo, torture pag wala kang pasok whole day. kahit magpamusic ka pa full volume sa headphone tagos talaga ung ingay nila.
ok lang naman for me if mag-ingay kayo buong araw at hapon kase oras ng trabaho yan e, wag nyo lang sagarin ng gabi. i mean oras na ng pahinga yan eh, dapat tulog ka na nyan. pagod na nga yung tao galing sa duty at klase, bubugbugin nyo pa yung tenga sa ingay ng putanginang welding nyo. what if kayo iwelding ko?
so far ang pampatahimik ko sakanila is ung 2.5 inches thick kong libro. minsanan ko lang to gamitin pag magrereview. who knows na kaya din palang magpatahimik ng libro kong to. in the future balak ko pang bumili ng makakapal na libro, para different sound naman if magpapatahimik ako.

tatay kong cheater pa rin pala kahit nabuko na dati pa. wala akong plano na sabihin to sa kahit sino sa pamilya ko dahil ayokong maging broken family at ayokong icutoff niya kami dahil siya ang breadwinner sa pamilya.
papagiba bahay namin. eh ang main income ng nanay ko ay sa pagtitinda niya. pag pinagiba bahay, alam kong itetakeover yun ng tita kong matagal na minamata tindahan namin. tsaka wala rin namang pampagawa ng bahay talaga. gigibain lang kasi pinipilit nung kapatid nilang may pera, para daw pag may pera, rekta pagawa na. hindi inisip na kaming nandito madedehado.
walang trabahong natanggap sakin. lahat ng naapplyan ko so far na ayos environment at ayos pay, tinaasan na requirements nila post-pandemic. dapat degree holder na raw. sana may matirang trabaho sakin na undergrad ay pwede na.
plano ko talaga since last year ay magtrabaho para makaipon para makabalik sa school at makagraduate na sana. pero last year, kinailangan kong maging in charge sa bahay (mahirap palang maging punong abala sa bahay, sa papeles ng mama mo, sa tindahan niyo, at sa kapatid niyo).
this year, eto na sana year ko. hopeful pa ako nung january 1. pero ngayong january 21, naderail na naman plano. backburner na ulit pag-aaral. kelangang mag-ipon para makatulong sa ambag sa rerentahang bahay.
samantalang mga tao sa paligid ko, mula high school at college friends, ang gaganda ng buhay. nangingibang bansa, nasa field of work na gusto nila, living solo - in short, umunlad silang lahat. hindi ko actively kinocompare ang sarili ko, sa totoo lang. naniniwala ako sa at your own pace. pero yung pace ko compared sa kanila, sobrang bagal. ang layo na narating nila. nandito pa lang din ako. parang pagong na sobrang bigat ng bahay kasi sobrang daming barnacles na nasa shell niya.
wala akong tapang tapusin na buhay ko. at alam kong masasaktan ko lang mga taong mahal pa ako kesa pagaanin kasi wala na silang burden.
pero also, ayoko na. di ko gets bakit kelangang lumaban pa eh naghehelicopter lang naman si marcos pa ph arena tapos dedma lang sa hinaing ng mga jeepney driver. nagtaas ng 5% contribution sa philhealth pero nalulubog pa rin sa utang mga pilipino dahil sa healthcare system natin. pataas lang nang pataas mga bilihin pero wala namang pagtaas sa minimum wage.
bakit kelangang lumaban pa para mabuhay kung minamaltrato at unti unting pinapatay lang tayo ng sistema natin. bakit kelangan kong iovercome mga personal kong problema kung mamamatay din naman tayong lahat.
parang lahat na lang tayo si sisyphus. pero ang pagkakaiba na lang, si sisyphus, nararating niya yung tuktok ng bundok bago bumalik ang dambuhalang bato sa kanya. ako kasi, at baka pati kayo, hindi na nga madala sa tuktok yung bato, nadadaganan pa tayo sa pagbalik ng dambuhalang bato sa patag na lupa.
somebody make living make sense. kasi it really does not anymore.

I (35) and husband (34), was married last january and I am currently 8 mos pregnant with our 1st child. A few months back napansin ko na mejo secretive si husband, parang laging katabi ang phone and almost yakap na nya every night. I know it’s wrong pero nung nag alert ang phone nya. I opened it and nagbasa ako. Ayun nakita ko he was chatting with a girl and mejo bastos ang theme. He was asking about kung ano ang preference ng girl sa sex if kantot kuneho or giver to be exact. Mukhang di pa naman sila nag meet up nung kachat. He also opened up sa girl about a past episode of cheating. It was the time na 3 mos pa lang kami, (we started as gf/bf 2016) na may nakilala syang girl in a dating app na super na bilib sya and they had sex pero 1 time lang at sinabi pa nya na siguro kung wala ako sa picture may potential sila. Parang totga ba. Nagkita pa ulit sila last 2022 pero wala naman nangyari based sa kwento nya kay kachat. Of course nalaman ko lang yan lahat recently. I confronted him. Syempre nag away kami.
Nalaman ko din na he is using our savings para ipahiram sa tito nya para pang casino. Maliit lang naman around 20k pero my issue is sana sinasabihan ako. Since funds namin yun. Since nagkaka aminan na. Inamin nya din na nag loan sya sa bank around 100k at napatalo nya lahat sa online baccarat in one night. Sobrang overwhelmed na ako sa mga nalaman ko. Kasi hindi ko naman naisip na magagawa nya yun. I earn more than my husband and I am financially independent. Ang binibigay nya sa akin monthly is for the car loan and half ng condo rent. I paid the dp of the car which is 50% para di mabigat ang monthly. Other expenses sa bahay is shouldered by me. I dont ask him for money na, since he is supporting his mom wala kasi pension or source of income at only child ang husband ko. My pregnancy is a bit difficult, I have to stop working during my 5th month and currently on leave without pay. I am still paying part of our expenses namin with my own savings. Since wala ako work. Sabi nya he will shoulder the hospitalization pag nanganak ako. Yun pala he was pertaining sa common funds namin. At wala pala syang savings of his own and in fact in debt pa sya because of online gambling. At first super galit ako sa mga nalaman ko. Ngayon parang numb ang feeling ko. I dont know how to deal with it. He said he is sorry and wanted a clean slate. Naiiyak na lang ako every night and na aaffect na ang pregnancy ko. Wala ako gana and bumabagsak ang weight ko. Naiisip ko na lang na bakit ganon. Ano ba ginawa ko to deserve this. Niloloko ako in so many ways at ngayong pregnant pa ako. Gaano naman kasakit yun.

I'm 21 years old and I'm currently working sa CC, I feel stable naman in life but the routine lang ng repetitiveness ng life ko since I got hired back from December 2021 naging somehow boring and lonely ako. I felt so youthful before kase I was earning na and can do what I want in life but adulthood struck and now I feel miserable na parang pagong slowmo yung progress, clueless kung anong gusto, finding the work balance ba to be healthy. I never had much satisfaction in life during my childhood when I was with my parents kase di ako maluhong tao and since mahirap lang din kami.
May passion ako sa gaming that at some point naadik ako. I play most all platform games mobile, pc, console and handheld but low on budget since I have priorities to also look after sa monthly expenses ko kaya mid lang ang kaya kong iawas sa budget if it comes to personal expense. Di ko na iisaisahin pero I knew to myself na suntok sa buwan yung dream na to when I was younger as a student. So I want to hear your opinions.
At this stage naman yung work ko provides me enough needs and wants but if isisingit ko yung things to make my streaming dream work such as equipments yada yada would be a bit of a challenge. I know this will take up my time and nightshift din ako, I'm just unsure If I can commit sa consistency na need para makaisip ng content kase I feel like I need to devote myself once nag simula na ako. Marami akong gustong gawin, daming nag shift sa life ko when I turned 20's na and realized hiwalay na ako sa parents ko and I'm starting to build my own na kaya eto una kong naisip na gawin bago naman ako mag enter ng another chapter ng life ko.

College student ako ngayon at ang dorm na tinitirhan ko ay may sobrang bagal na internet connection. Hindi ko alam bakit ganyan sa building na iyan kasi paglabas namin, malakas na ang signal. Globe man o Smart, parang pagong talaga. Kaya gusto ko sana ng guide paano palakasin yung Globe prepaid wifi ko. Nabasa ko somewhere na outdoor antenna ang kailangan at hindi extender or booster. Ano dapat kailangan ko i-consider bago mag-set up neto?

Hi Good Afternoon po AntiworkPH.
Tanong ko lang po kung anong dapat gawin dito sa CoE ko na reniquest ko nung June 30.
Nagpasa ako ng letter of request sa mismong H.R nung June 30 for CoE at Payslip para makapag apply ako ng Credit Card.
Nag-follow up ako thru call at kinakausap ko yung H.R personally kapag pumupunta siya sa branch namin simula nung 1 week of July hanggang ngayon usad pagong ang request ko. Na email na yung payslip pero itong CoE di parin mabigay bigay dahil busy daw siya.
Di po ba dapat within 3 working days po dapat ma-grant na yung ganung request? Ano pong magandang gawin para gawin niya ito mabilis? May DOLE law ba tayong tungkol dito?
Maraming salamat po sa advice.

Rant: Yung feeling na gusto ko matapos yung pag-aaral ko ng Juris Doctor ng 4 years lang, but I'm afraid that my pacing (slow pace) makes it impossible (I failed two major subjects last year na pang first year, and because of that 5 years all in all tuloy ako sa law school). Hays, ang hirap maging pagong in a world where yung mga kuneho lang ang pinapalakpakan/nire-rejoice. Naiinis lang ako kasi bakit hindi ko kasing-bilis matuto ng mga ka-batch mates ko. Kung pede lang pumunta sa heaven para mag-reklamo kay Lord na (childish dba, pero I don't care): bakit ginawa mo kong turtle samantalang yung mga classmates ko kuneho sila sa pag-aaral ng batas? Bakit pakiramdam ko ako lang ang mag 5 years? Bakit lahat sila 4 years lang? Bakit ganito timeline ko? Bakit ang tagal? Para saan to?

Pls asnwer

Hindi ko na alam ang paniniwalaan ko. Baka lang naman pinapalaki na masyado lamang ni BabyM para naman kung sakaling lumamang si VP, pagdududahan ng tao at sabihin nandaya na naman.
Somehow, may konti pa rin akong hope.
Ang bilis sa counting pero pagdating sa aksyon sa mga kaganapang malagim ngayong araw, mas mabagal pa sa pagong.

How do you deal with the feeling of being inggit sa kapwa mo? How do you manage your thoughts? What do you do kapag di mo maiwasang di ma-compare yung sarili mo sa iba? What concrete ways do you practice? Is "pag inggit, pikit" an okay mindset?
Naiinggit ako sa partner ko. She's loved and celebrated by people. Ang daming nakakaalala at nagmamahal sa kanya. Sobrang complete opposite kasi namin. Intimidating ako, hindi showy, hirap mag-express at maging open sa iba, etc. Habang s'ya, mas mukhang approachable, charming, and she's really people smart. Before, I used to think people smart ako because I can get along with anyone. Pero I don't know what happened bakit naging parang pagong na akong nakatago sa shell ko ngayon most of the time.
I hate that this jealousy is affecting how I view myself, my partner, and our relationship overall. What do you do? How do you process your thoughts? Kindly give me concrete ways, both short-term and long-term. Feel free na rin na sampalin ako ng kahit anong reaction n'yo sa nararamdaman kong to, negative man o hindi.
Thank you.

For the month of August [and maybe September, if I don't finish on time], I've decided to offer cards that showcase different aspects of the Philippines because... I just feel like it, and my ninth offer is of literature.
Admittedly, I haven't read a lot of Filipino literature. The first Filipino "book" I ever read was Ibong Adarna, because it was required for Filipino class when I was in 1st Year highschool (that's 7th Grade for the rest of you). The second book was Florante at Laura, which was required on my 2nd Year. Third and fourth were Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which I read during those years, respectively. I did get to read around three more books in college, and my English teachers always introduced us to short stories written in English by Filipinos, like Bread of Salt, How My Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife, and Dead Stars
Unfortunately, I couldn't find postcards for any of the titles mentioned, but I found ones with the covers of children's storybooks, which I am offering today. These were drawn by artists of Adarna House and Illustrador ng Kabataan for Adarna House's 35th anniversary. Adarna House is a Philippine company engaged in the publication of local literature for children of all ages.
Names of the books and their translations:
A. Ang Itim na Kuting - The Black Kitten
B. Bilog na Itlog - Round Egg
C. Si Pagong at Si Matsing - The Turtle and The Monkey
D. Si Monica Dalosdalos - Clumsy Monica
E. Magic Mat
F. Si Ching na Takot sa Dilim - Ching Who is Afraid of the Dark
To claim, please:
a) be at least 20+ flaired
b) indicate the order in which you like the cards
c) give me an interesting prompt related to the Philippines (can be related to the cards or otherwise). You can opt not to give me a prompt and let me write whatever I want but it takes me forever and a day to come up with something to write
d) tell me whether you'd like me to write in English, Filipino, or my mother tongue, Cebuano (Note: if you choose either of the last two, I will not have space to write an English translation. You can PM me for a translation once you receive the card, or you could try to work with Google translate)
I will keep this open for at least a day and will pick recipients based on prompts if more than one person claims a particular card.
The countries and territories I can send mail to are listed here

Continued from Pt. 3 https://www.reddit.com/FilipinoHistory/comments/jykybu/old_tagalog_food_and_cooking_terms_from/
Seafood
Laman tubig (laman ng tubig)- que es cualquiera genero de pescado/flesh of any kind of fish ie seafood.
Ysda (isda)-pescado/fish.
Tinic (tinik)-raspa de pescado/fish bones. Eg. Matinic yaring isda “This fish has lots of bones; it’s so spiny.”
Tibo-espina del pescado, esto es, la alilla encima del espinazo/the spine of the fish, that is the wing ie fin on top of the spine
Tuba-arbol que la fruta sirve para matar pescado en el rio...emborrachar pescado/tree which fruit are used to kill fish in the river...to get the fish drunk.
Note: Many people around the world (from India to the Amazon) use a trick call ‘fish poisoning’. Essentially ancient people’s figured out which trees poison (from outright killing the fish, to stunning the fish, etc), they utilize these plants (either using leaves, roots, sap or fruits) process them to make liquid poison or straight up just dip plant parts in the water (usually in rivers or creeks, wherein its is easier to do this). Fish gets stunned or killed, then they harvest them as food. Obviously it’s done in PH as well.
Per research this tree is the Poison vine/derris elliptica now more commonly in Tagalog as ‘tubli’, although still called variation of ‘tuba’ in PH and the region in general. It belongs to the fava bean family (fava beans have certain amounts of poison that can kill people with deficient enzymes that can break it down). In parts of Borneo, it’s used by hunters to poison their arrow. In Ifugao, they use the roots to poison fish. They had been used as pesticides by peoples in this region esp. against mosquitoes. It is also used for suicide before pre-industrial times. The leaves, sap, and the fruit are all poisonous containing compounds called rotenoids. Rotenoids/rotenone kills cells in the cellular level.
There is another tree list here called putat/barringtonia asiatica...but for some weird reason its meaning here is ‘tree whose leaves are also eaten…’ I much doubt that since it’s very poisonous. In fact on YT majority of the videos for 'fish poisoning' is using this plant lol
Tindag-ensartar pescados/string fish caught together (so they are easy to carry home).
Bahog-incorporarse o empaparse la sal/the salt is incorporated into the fish.
Note: Today bahog means slop for pig’s feed. Obviously this seems to mean brining fish.
Langsa (lansa)-hedor que echa de si el caiman o el pescado/stench that comes from seafood like crocodile or fish.
Aman Sinaya (Ama ni Sinaya)-idolo...abogado de los pescadores: que al echar la red le llamaban/idol...protector of fishermen: they call his name when they cast their fishing nets.
Note: This is the ancient deity ie ‘god of the sea’ before Christianity. Like in modern PH where still sometimes the old religions persists (just go to Quiapo today I’m sure you’ll see what I mean), in the early 18th c. (when this was written) it is evident that some form of the old culture persisted, 150 years since Christianity began. A handful of Tagalog/Kapampangan deities are mentioned as ‘idols’ so likely they had anitos/wooden statues of them scattered among those who at least retained some of the traditions of the past. Among those mentioned in this dictionary that is related to professions: Ama ni Caable, protector of hunters and Mancocotor (Mangkukutod) protector of the tuba/palm wine makers.
Pating, pilpil- tollo o tiburon. En manila hay otro genero que llaman pilpil/spotted dog-fish or “shark”, in Manila it is better known as ‘pilpil’.
Hinquin (hingking ???)-mas pequeno que pating. Los mas pequenos los mejores. Pating, y hinquin son un mismo genero/Smaller than pating. The smallest (and) the best. Pating and hingquin are the same kind (sic: of fish).
Dambuhala-vallena/whale. Eg. Malaquing isda ang dambohala. “Whales are such large fishes.” Sungmaguip ang dambohala cay Jonas. “The whale caught Jonas.”
Note: Per Zorc derived from Malay, ‘jambu ara’, Wolff orig. meant ‘monster fish’ https://zorc.net/publications/041=CEDOF%233(1982).pdf.pdf)
Lampasot-tonina, pescado grande del mar salado/dolphins. Eg. Manga lampasot yaong longmalangoy. “Those (that are) jumping are dolphins.”
Pauican (pawikan)-tortuga/sea turtle.
Pagong-galapago como los Espana/tortoises like those in Spain.
Poguita (pugita)-pulpo pescado ancho/a very wide octopus.
Taclobo (taklobo)-caracol grande de la mar, son buenos para pilas de agua bendita/a large ‘seashell’ of the sea, very good to (use) as holy water stoup.
Note: The giant clam. Stoup is a receptacle usually found near the front doors of Catholic churches where ‘agua bendita’ ‘holy water’ is kept for parishioners to douse on themselves upon entering.
Types of seashells mentioned: biyoco, binga (this is defined as 'nacar' 'mother of pearls', bogsi. I cannot find their equivalence in English.
Soso (suso)-caracol el pequenito y redondo. Hacen de estos cal para el buyo, y andan por last sementeras de regadios/small and round snail. They make lime for the buyo, and they inhabit the irrigated fields.
Pilipit-snail, small and of pointed shell, make them lime for the buyo.
Note: ‘Make lime for buyo’, lime can either be harvested directly through quarries OR more often they are extracted via seashells. The natives would heat up a kiln (see entry ‘apogan’) with wood and seashells until they crack. They then pounded them into powder ie quick lime. They then pour water (slaking process) making it expand and crack making it non-caustic before mixing it into sludge/paste that can be stored. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e54ISzGasdo
Sigay-pequeno y blanquito sirve en Sian de moneda. los muchachos aca, juegan con ellos/small and white...in Siam it is used as a currency. The boys here, they play with them.
Note: Cowrie shells, it was used by Thais as a type of fiat money until 1830’s and traded with Filipinos for it before Spanish arrival. ‘Play with them, could mean various things...but likely meant playing with sungka.
Tahong-marisco almejas etc. que se cogen a la orilla del mar cuando mengua/seashell, clams etc. That are caught by the seashore when it is at lowtide.
Alimango-cangrejo grande y pescado conococido/large crab, and the most well used name for this sea creature.
Alimasag, talanca (talangka)-el pequeno/the smaller type of crab.
Catang (katang)-pequenitos/very tiny crabs.
Yapyap-camaroncillo. Andan estos en bandadas, muchos juntos/shrimp that travel in shoals, many together.
Colagya (kulagya)-mas pequenos que olang/shrimp smaller that the ulang.
Hipon- pequenitos. comense, y sirven de cebo para pescarsmall shrimp, eaten and used as bait for fish.
Olang (ulang)- camaron grandes y buen pescado. Pangolang, instrumento para cogerlos/giant shrimp that make great seafood. Pangolang (pang-ulang)is the instrument used to catch them.
Note: In parts of the PH, this term applies to fresh water or rivecreek shrimps.
Talaba-coger ostiones para cometo take oysters to eat.
Cabibi (kabibe)-almejas de la maclams from ocean.
Types of clams: Luna “small clams”, halaan “tastes great”, paros “big and great to eat too”, locan (lukan) “large and edible” ie ‘tulyang malaki’ today, solib (sulib) “large ones from the ocean”.
Palos-anguila pescado, conocido/eel, a fish known as such.
Bucanbinhi (pabukang binhi)-grandes y muy gordas de agua salada y dulce/large and fat eel, found in salt and fresh water. Note: Moorish eel.

Bangculis (bankulis)-atun pescado concido, y bueno, de la Costa de Casiguran...este atun es como de Espana/tuna known as such in the coast of Casiguran (I’m assuming Aurora because of proximity to the Tagalog region).
Alangolang-atun pequen que el pasado. Este lo hai en la mara Batangan/tuna, smaller than the one prior. This is found on the seas of Batangan (Batangas???).
Note: I think bangkulis are larger and medium sized tunas like yellow fins, while alangolang, which I think is the modern day ‘tulingan’ are for the smaller tuna (like bonitos) and ‘tuna-like’ fishes l(ike king mackerels).
Fish listed (for brevity’s sake):
Butiti (butete)-puffer fishes “pot bellied fish named as such whose belly swells when taken out of the war...used metaphorically for someone who is full from eating”

Halobaybay (halubaybay)- “small sardines” (herring) Note: Likely ‘baybay’ here means shoreline ie ‘caught near shoreline’.
Quitang (kitang)-spotted scat. The entry calls it ‘pompano’ ‘jack’, however it only looks like it and is actually not one belonging to pompano family.
Hapahap (apahap)-”corbina” ie sea bass or croaker
Vegetables and Other Crops
Auoy (awoy)-verdura todo genero de ella, comestible/all types of edible vegetables/greens.
Note: Today ‘vegetarian’ is trans. as ‘kaing-awoy’ ie ‘one who only eats greens/products from plants’.
Daua (dawa), bugaga-mijo semilla comestible/millet, edible grain.
Note: Millet is one of the most important grain besides rice; often ancient Filipinos/SEAsians relied on these crops: rice, millet (specifically fox millet), sorghum, Job's tears and taro. It’s well documented that, these foods are eaten seasonally ie when rice stocks are gone and still have months to go before harvest, they’ll rely on roots to tide them over. Millet was often more common in lowlands of smaller islands like in the Visayans, and rice was actually more commonly grown in wet and fertile mountains ie dry harvesting, than it was in lowlands, where rice is now more common.
Poso (puso ng maiz)-mazorca de maiz/corn cob.
Lain (laing)-penca de los gabes, que son unas rayces comestibles/stalk of the gabi (taro), which are edible root crops. Eg. Gugulayin mo iyang manga lain. “Make a stew out of those stalks.”
Talong- Berengena, legumbre/eggplant, a legume. Eg. Mita ca nang talong, at talongan mo ang laoya ie 'la olla'. “Look for eggplants, and toss them in the pot.”
Obi (ube), tugui (tuwi, tugiw ???)-aporcar los camotes que llaman obi o tugui que los hacen pedazo y amotonan tierra sobre ellos, y despues los siembran/covering with soil these camotes/ground potatoes they call “ube” or “tuwi”, they cut (the buds from stem) and then pile soil on them. Eg. Solangan mo ang manga obi. “Plant these purple yams.”
Note: Not sure what ‘tuwi’ mean, it was listed as a separate entry in ‘camotes’ as a type.
Gabi-camotes comestibles; per desabridos, son grandes/edible ground potatoes but bland and bigger.
Singcamas (singkamas)-gicama a modo de nabos redondos. comense crudas y son muy dulces/jicama, round like turnips. Eat raw and are very sweet.
Bulay-frejol/bean.
Note: Seems no longer used in Tagalog in this context, although it is still used in Cebuano in context of the legume, hyacinth bean.
Cagyos (kagyos) or caryos (kadyos)-frejoles otro genero de ellos, son blancos/beans, of another kind, they are white.
Note: Today kadios, or kagyos are names for pigeon beans, which are ironically black. Perhaps a mistranslation ??? or referring to a totally different type in this entry.
Ayap, paayap- frejoles como los de Espana o un remedo de ellos/beans like those in Spain or something that resemble them.
Note: This bean is now more commonly called ‘sitaw’ in Tagalog ie ‘string beans’.
Hantak, sungay- frejoles otro genero que llaman sungay por similitude/beans another genus that they call sungay (lit. Trans Tagalog, “horns”) because of similarity.
Note: most likely another type of string bean; hantak is still used in other languages like Waray to mean that ie string bean.
Bulay patani-habas, parecense a las de Espana/broad beans resemble those in Spain.
Note: Patani is lima beans in Tagalog.
Bayogo- habas silvestres con que juegan los muchachos/wild bean (which pods) boys play with.
Note: Per research this is the matchbox seabean
Coles (kulis)-berzas/cabbage or collard greens. Eg. Magcoles ca sa sinigang “Put cabbages in the pot.”
Note: What is called ‘kulis’ today is the lettuce tree or maluko/pisonia alba. It seems the term ‘cabbage’ in this regard is still used in different Luzon cooking like in Bikol region, a recipe using it. However this specific entry and all entries in this dictionary, it is using Mexican (and elsewhere in Latin America) term ‘col’ (‘coles’ as plural) to mean any type of cabbage otherwise known in Spain as ‘repollo’ (gree cabbage).
Bikol 'kulis' https://www.facebook.com/proudtobealbayano.ph/posts/gulay-na-kulis-with-perkules-d/987201791433593/
Gulay-cualquiera genero de ellas, siendo comestibles/any type (of herbs) that are edible.
Note: in another entry, listed as ‘gulay’ is legumbre/legumes ie beans.
Aplia/apaliya (apalya, ampalaya)-balsamina, yerba medicinal. esta cocida, y bebida en agua, quita el ahito. y cocida en aceite es buena para las heridas/medicinal herb, cooked or drunk in water, it removes upset stomach. When cooked with oil, it is good for application on wounds.
Note: Apalia is still the Kapampangan form of “bitter melon” today.
Luoya (luya)-gengibre/ginger.
Dilao (dilaw)-raiz, amarilla, para tenir de este coloroot ie turmeric, yellow colored and used to color with this color.
Barac (badak)-amarillo es una raiz con que se untan de amarillo/root used to color clothes yellow. (Note: Called luya-luyahan today or barak/badak, the zedoary/white turmeric.
Langcuas (langkawas)- silvestre y mayor la cepa y el tallo que la luya/wild and has a longer stem than luya.
Note: It’s the greater galangal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpinia\_galanga
Lasona-cebolla, la misma que la de Espana/onion, just like the one from Spain.
Note: obviously the Spanish ie ‘sibuyas’ ‘cebollas’ won out over the native term ‘lasona’ today.
Bauang (bawang)-ajos comestibles/edible garlic. Eg. Hindi ca nagbauang sa linotong isda “You didn’t add garlic to the fish when you cooked it?”
Lara (lada)- chile que pica/chili peppers. Eg. Malara ca sa canin. "Add chilies to the food". Pinahiran ang bibig niya nang lara. "They smeared his mouth with chilies."
Note: Lada is Malay for ‘pepper’, from which this term came from. However today, ‘chilies’, a New World plant, are also called ‘pepper’ ie ‘chili peppers’. Prior to arrival of Europeans, ‘pepper’ meant ‘black pepper’, a tree not related to ‘chilies (which technically are types of berries) at all.
Labong-al pie de las canas grandes/the lower part of the bamboo ie bamboo shoots.
Sapo-pie de plantano que queda arraiz de tierra despues de cortado, en Manila es Sacua, en tiempo de necesidad lo comen/root of banana tree that remains after being cut...in Manila it is called ‘sacua’ (sakwa); they eat it in times of need.
Tocaal (tukal)-raiz que sacan en la laguna para comer en tiempo de necesidad/root that they harvest in the Lake (Bay Lake or Laguna de Bay) to eat in time of need.
Note: We know that ancient Filipinos eat various staples including root crops to substitute when times are lean or when harvest of rice are low or still months behind. Root crops were considered ‘survival foods’, foods that people can harvest when in times of famine or war (many cases coastal Filipinos when attacked by pirates would flee to refuge inland) relying on crops they generally would not eat in times of plenty.
In one entry: Y metaf: ‘Ang manga auoy ay catanginandin nang gotom.’ ‘Los camotes, calabazas etc. Supliran la hambre; hasta que haya arroz’ Metaphor: ‘Roots, gourds, etc. will sate hunger, until there is rice (ie until we are able to harvest rice).’ Tukal is Indian lotus (at least it is still called that in Kapampangan).
Cabuti (kabute)-hongos como los de Espana y comestibles/mushrooms, like those in Spain.
Types of mushrooms: Pandong ahas “it means ‘sunshade for snakes’, large and wild”, sicdot (sikdot) “like the cabuti, but (to list) other kinds of mushrooms aren’t important (sic: because they don’t eat it)”.
Sicoy (sikoy)-calabaza no muy larga y gorda; de que hacen conserva/gourd that isn’t very long but fat. They make preserves ie pickles with them.
Note: Not sure what this is but I’m very interested in knowing. Hopefully someone knows.
Condol (kundol), candoy (kandoy)-largas y delgadas, de que hacen potaje/gourds that are long and thin. They use it to make a stew. Eg. Mag condol ca sa Laguerta. “Plant these long squash in the orchard.”
Note: It is the wax gourd aka winter gourd.
Patola-calabazas o cohombros, tienen la cascaraverde y encendida/gourd or cucumbers, have green and glowing skin.
Note: Sponge gourd.
Tabayag-calabazas grandes y silvestres, no sirven sino de echar en ellas agua, o vino y semillas/gourds large and wild. They only use (ie sic they don’t eat it) them as containers eg. Like pitcher to pour water or wine and as container for their seeds.
Note: The calabash or the bottle gourd.
Digman-ovas yerva aspera, que se cria en el agua/grapes that are like herbs that grow in the water. Eg. Digmanan mo iyang isda. “Cover that fish (with sea grapes).”
Note: I think these are sea grapes ie grape seaweed, now more locally known as ‘lado’, often eaten like a salad. Obviously also eaten with fish.
Talbos-cogollo de cualquiera planta/shoots or sprouts (stems) of any plant. Eg. Talbos nang calabasa. “Gourd shoots.”
Herbs mentioned (for brevity's sake):
Libato-Basella nigra/Malabar spinach. Note: Today more commonly as ‘alugbati’.
Sagumay-aloe (???). Note: today more commonly known in PH with names like ‘dumanay’ and ‘sabila’ (name in Hispanic countries). Per entry, possibly used for drinks.
Sayican (sayikan), colasiman (kulasiman)-purslane.
Note: Today known as golondrina, ngalog. Per book ‘Foods used by Filipinos in Hawai'i’ by Miller et. al: "Purslane, a wayside plant growing in neglected gardens and uncultivated spots, is used to a limited extent by the Ilocanos. They like its tart flavor when cooked for a short period with salt or with bagoong or, after cooking, combined in a salad with other vegetables such as tomatoes. Wester reports that in the Philippines it is boiled with meat and eaten as a vegetable."
In the same book it was the ingredients for various Ilocano recipes including dinengdeng (Ilocano version of pinakbet). In other websites, it is said to be added to nilaga, omellette, papaitan (Ilocano bitter stew), Ilocano balatong (monggo stew), sampayna (a dinugan recipe from N. Mindanao) or simply blanched and eaten as a salad with fish sauce (like how talbos ng kamote is eaten like a salad/side dish).
Oray (uray), quilites (kilites)-green Amaranth leaves. Note: Aka kalunay. It is used as leafy greens in various Filipino dishes or as substitute to talbos ng kamote (camote leaves). Used today for soupy dishes like tinola, and Ilocanos use it for versions of pinakbet. It is sometimes boiled and eaten like a salad with citrus juice.
Halon-red Amaranth leaves. Note: Same as above. In this entry, it was listed ‘maghalon’ as ‘guisa bledos’ ‘stewed amaranth’, likely boiled and eaten as a side or as main dish like today's "talbos ng camote".
Bayangbang-bledos yerba conocida, y sirve para soldar algun hueso desconcertado; y tambien los comen cocidos/amaranth(-like) herb used to treat broken bones, and they cook it.
Note: I do not know what this is exactly. However there is a town in Pangasinan with a similar sounding name, Bayambang. It is named after the tree bauhina acuminata ie kulibangbang used for bulalo sinigang as a souring agent. They also make pickles out of them. Another sister specie bauhinia purpurea, alibangbang, whose leaves used for sinigang also.
Colotcolotan (kulot-kulutan)-yerva medicinal/medicinal herb. Note: Triumfetta rhomboidea/Chinese burr. Per websites, leaves used as a thickener for soupy dishes.
Fruits
Auoy (awoy), bonga (bunga)- fruta cualquiera género.../any type of fruit.
Note: This is the native Tagalog word for ‘fruit’ (now generally called ‘prutas’ in modern Tagalog) aside from bunga ie to bear fruit. Both are applicable to vegetables, however the latter today is the only one used for metaphorical applications also.
Bot-o (buto)-pepita de cualquiera fruta/seeds of any fruit. Eg. But-o nang paho. “Paho/mangifera altissima seeds”.
Baloc (balok)-hollejo que tiene el guevo despues de la cascara. Y de aqui llaman asi tambien al de qualquiera fruta que lo tiene/membrane/peel/skin that covers the egg after the shell (is taken off). They also use it for fruits that a similar inner lining. Eg. Houag mong canin ang baloc nang lucban. "Do not eat the membrane of the orange."
Manga (mangga)-fruta sabrosa de Siam, y transplantada en esta tierra/tasty fruit from Siam, transplanted into this country.
Note: Mangoes originated from India through trade. Possibly taken to PH via Siam is what this author is supposing.
Dambo-macupa, fruta de la tierra/...or macopa, a fruit of this land.
Note: Wax apple/syzygium saragense vs. Actual ‘macopa’ ie 'syzygium aqueum'. Known around the region with variations of word 'jambo' (probably a S. Asian term originally).
Lansones- de la tierra aunque los hay en pocas. Son muy dulces, y tienen poco que comefruit of the land although there are meager. They are very sweet, (but) have little to eat (flesh in them).
Balingbing (balimbing)-fruta ochavada, y buena. La hay dulce y agria/fruit, octagonal and good. There is sweet and sour.
Tabugok-calabacilla, pequenas, son silvestres y medicinales/lit. ‘tiny squash’ (modern trans. ‘zucchini’)
Note: Better known as patolang gubat/trichosanthes quinquangulata, it is more like a fruit like passion fruit than it is a gourd. Mangyans use the inside of the fruit like tea to cure ailments like malaria.
Iba-agraz, es una frutilla de cierto arbol que los Espanoles llaman banquilin, es del tamano. Y hechura de la guinda con su huesecillo, y pezon, hacerse conservade ella, y por si sola es agria/ It is a fruit of a certain tree that the Spanish call banquilin because of its size and shape resembling cherries with small seed and stalk. They preserve it and itself is sour.
Note: Iba is term for starberry or star gooseberry tree. From this term they like made pickles or fruit preserves out of them.
Bignay-agraz de un arbol llamado asi, son los racimos como de ubas, aunque los granos son pequenos siempre tienen mucho de agrio, aun cuando maduros/the sour juice of a tree called as such, with clusters like grapes, although the fruits are smaller. They are very sour even when ripe. Eg. Bignayan mo ang isda. “Add bignay juice to the fish.”
Note: I translated it ‘juice’ because some translation of ‘agras’ means ‘vinegar from such fruit’, but it could just the fruit being added straight to the broth. They do make bignay wine today...but not sure if that was a traditional venture or recent one. If this is made into wine, likely there is vinegar from it. Regardless, this is likely used as a souring agent ie for sinigang (per online searches, there are recipes of sinigang that uses it for souring).
Saguing (saging)- nombre general para plantano; porque hai muchos nombres de ellos/general term for banana; they have many terms for them.
Tondoc (tundok)- plantanos grandes y de mucha sustancia/bananas, huge and nutritious.
Note: In other countries like Indonesia, they are known as ‘tandok’ and ‘tinduk’.
Saba-que llaman obispo: son muy sanos; y sabrosos/the one they call ‘the bishop’, they are very plump and tasty.
Note: I think ‘obispo’ in this context is like a slang for ‘the big one’.
Entry listing various types of bananas: ynambac (inambak), calbongolol (kalbungolol), galiyan/galayan, otongan (utungan), sacsic (saksik), yniba (iniba), bongolan/bangalan.
Santol-durazno/peach.
Note: In another term, the fruit mabolo ie ‘velvet apple’ (from the ebony tree, kamagong) is translated as ‘peach’ as well. Santols appears in this dictionary SO MANY times, it seems it was very much favored by the Tagalogs per my impression lol Obviously many plants in PH did not exist in Iberia, often then many of the plants listed in vocabularies were listed to their closest description in Spanish/European vocabulary.
Duhat-cereza, fruta de un arbol llamado asi...Duhat anuang, otro genero de ellas, mayores y mas dulces; y llaman las cerezas de crabao...Lumboy, pequenas y silvestres. Aunque you pienso es toda una, lumboy, y duhat/cherry, fruit of a tree called as such... Duhat anuang ie carabao cherries, another kind of them, bigger and sweeter; and t... Lumboy, small and wild. Although I think all of these are the same…
Note: Anuwang is the native word for ‘water buffalo’. ‘Kalabaw’ is originally Khmer term borrowed via Malay. It seems whenever ancient Filipinos use words metaphorically related to ‘water buffalo’ it’s to mean ‘large’ ‘oafish’. Eg ‘damulag’ ‘a water buffalo bull’.
Sapinir (sapinit)-madrono, es propriamente la fruta de la zarzamora/berry proper name for the fruit of the blackberry tree.
Note: This is neither the strawberry (madrono) nor the blackberry (zarzamora) rather it’s a type of raspberry native to the region, which the natives call sapinit that is native to Mt. Banahaw and in Laguna.
Tibulir (tibulid)-lemon largo y puntiagudo/long and pointy citrus Eg. Ganga tibulir calalaqui. "As big as lemons..."
Note: I don't know which exact species this is, I could be wrong, and there are many translation of ‘tibulid’ online. Per description I think it might be the Biasong/citrus micrantha or samuyaw (a smaller version) as they are called in Visayas. It could also be citron/citrus medica.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_micrantha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron
Dayap sina-limon sutil tiene cascara delgada/small citrus that has a thin rind.
Note: Obviously means ‘Chinese dayap’ (although ‘sina’ ‘China’ was used by pre-colonial PH for all foreigners at times). With some online research, dayap is key lime...but not so I'm not sure if this is key lime or Mandarin orange/tangerine.
Lucban (lukban)-naranjas gruesas y de cascara gordo. Naranjo, el arbol/orange fruits that are big and thick-shelled. Also the orange tree.
Note: Lukban is obviously a city in PH. Most PH place names are named after a tree or plant that once thrived there (besides that, usually named after after bodies of water or terrain). In Tagalog region a vast many of them are named specifically for citrus trees eg. Lukban, Antipolo, Cabuyao, Dalandanan (Valenzuela) etc.
Piña (pinya)-fruta de Mexico; que aca no la havia; ya ay muchas. Desengaña la comida/Mexican fruit, there is no (local) name here; though there are many here.
Note: I do not know how to translate, seems colloquial usage for its day, ‘Desengana la comida’. It sounds to me like ‘disappointment for the food’ ie ‘disappointed with it's taste’. I didn't translate it as such because I'm not very sure.
Tibig- higo de la tierra/fig tree of this country.
Note: Tibig is the sackling tree/ficus nota. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus_nota
Sisiyo-higos mayores que tibig. comenlos tambien/figs larger than tibig, they eat it as well.
Note: I don't know what specific fig tree this is.
Bilocao (bilukaw)-nuez moscada es la fruta de el arbol llamado asi, o especie de dicha nuez moscada; es agria la carne que tiene encima dicha nuez/Nutmeg is the fruit of the tree so called, or a species of said nutmeg; the meat on top of the nut is sour.
Note: It is not the nutmeg tree from which the spices nutmeg and mace is derived, but rather a tree like it. Bilukaw, binukaw, or batwan is known for it’s sour fruits usually used in the Visayas and Mindanao for souring agent in their version of sinigang. It is also sometimes used as a seasoning for lechon.
Pagatpat-higos o chico, vocablo sinico que usan los espanoles/figs or chico, a Chinese word used by Spanish here.
Note: Pagatpat is a type of fruit that comes from a mangrove plant. Also called palatpat or hikaw-hikawan. Used for various medicinal concoction. I think the author mistaken it for ‘chico’ ie sapodilla that is native to the New World. http://www.stuartxchange.org/Hikau-hikauan
Pacuan (pakwan)-sandia como las de Espana/watermelon, like those in Spain.
Hayupac (hayupak)-bellota como la de espana algo redonda pero dulce y la come la gente. estos dos generos de bellotas las hai en los montes de gumaca y mayoboc/acorn similar to that in Spain, round but sweet, and is eaten by many people. These are found in the mountains of Gumaca and Mayoboc.
Note: IDK what this ‘acorn’ is, it’s obviously a fruit. I’m just intrigued. Hayupak today is a village, obviously named after the tree, in what is now Lopez, Quezon which right in between Gumaca and Pitogo (what used to be Mayoboc). The mountain mentioned here is likely Mt. Pinaglapatan...so if you know what this ‘fruit’ is, please comment LOL.

In an alternate universe, merong COVID-19 special ang Batibot.
Sa simula, pagdududahan nilang positive si Kiko Matsing dahil sa garalgal niyang boses kaya dadalhin nila sa ospital. Isa-swab test si Kiko. "Positive kaya si Kiko mga bata?" tapos tutugtog yung "Pa-pa-pa-pa-palaisipan".
Palabas ng ospital. Tuturuan nilang magbilang ang mga bata. "Ilang bangkay meron sa hallway ng ospital, mga bata? Halina, bilangin natin!" "Isa. Isang bangkay. Dalawa. Dalawang bangkay. Tatlo. Tatlong bangkay...."
Tapos pagkauwi sa bahay, kainan scene at kantahan portion. Sa tono ng "Tinapang Bangus" kakanta sila ng "Delatang sardinas, delatang sardinas. Masarap ang delatang sardinas"
Sa dulo, merong segment si Pong Pagong pero hindi makikita ang ulo at limbs niya. Bahay lang ng pagong ang makikita para hikayatin ang lahat to stay home. Mula sa loob ng shell niya, sisigawan ni Pong yung mga makikita niyang palakad-lakad sa labas ng "U-weeeeee! U-weeeeeee"

Merong maiksing PSA tungkol sa distancing si Sitsiritsit at Alibangbang. (Mas sikat sila sa universe na ito kaya sila ang napili at hindi sila Ningning at Gingging)

"What makes a hero?". Ito ay isang tanong ko sa mga intelektwal na mga tao dito sa reddit. Ito ay base sa sinabi ni Imee Marcos na sa opisyal na tala ay wala tayong tunay na bayani. Ang mga ginawa ba ni Rizal, Bonifacio, Apostol, Marcelo at iba pa ay hindi sapat para tawaging bayani? Ang mga karaniwang pagkakasunod sunod sa buhay ng mga bayani sa ating mga pabula, alamat at mga saling kwento (kwento na napagsalinsalin sa bawat henerasyon), ito ba ang nagdidikta ng pagiging bayani? O baka naman ba may ibang ibig sabihin sa bawat tao ang katagang bayani?

No offense. Genuinely curious lang.
Bakit kaya yung mga mahihirap tila sila pa yung may ganang manganak ng madami? Compared sa mga middle class at mga mayayaman, sila yung parang mga daga at kuneho kung manganak.
Iba ibang documentaries na ang napanood ko about poverty in the Philippines pero may pattern talaga sakanila na madami kung manganak. Personally ang 3-4 kids sakin ay madami na. Yan yung at some point medyo mararamdaman mo talagang may pinapaaral at pinapakain kang pamilya. Pero yung mga mahihirap kahit 8 na ang anak tila baliwala lang sakanila at kung minsan ay hihirit pa ito ng isa pang baby kahit nasa late 30s or early 40s na ang nanay. Kapag nanonood ako ng mga ganitong documentaries sa una naaawa ako pero habang nakikita ko yung pag hihirap ng mga anak, na bbwiset lang ako sa mga magulang. Halos gusto ko na sila sigawan ng “mga vovo!”(natutunan ko yan sa Mobile Legends) Yung mga anak nila kasi ang kawawa so medyo nakaka bwiset talaga sila.
I understand most of them hindi nakapag aral pero madali namang intindihin at gawin ang natural contraceptive/family planning. Parang hindi nila iniisip ang future nila at ng mga anak nila. Let’s say nasa low-income class ako, syempre ang instinct ko is mag control at iminimize ang pagkakaroon ng baby kasi mas maganda kung mabibigyan mo ng quality life ang kid mo at ma susustain mo ito.
So bakit nga ba ang mga mahihirap grabe kung manganak? Dahil ba ito sa:

1. Higher ang fertility rate ng mga squattemahihirap?
   
2. Sobrang hayok sila sa mga partners nila at hindi nila makayanang mag control?
   
3. Totally oblivious sila sa human reproduction/reproductive system?
   
4. None of the above. Ano opinions nyo?
   

Ok, may nagbigay sa akin ng gold para aking comment. Maraming salamat, anonymous redditor, wish ko lang sana humaba pa ang buhay mo, at wish ko din na sana magka-trabaho na ako (para may ipambayad na din ako sa mga loans ko. LOLSOB). At trip kong mag-update ng listahan. So eto na siguro ang isa sa mga exhaustive na list tungkol sa mga anime na ipinalabas noong mga late 80's to 90's to early 2000's (pre-2010). Sana.
Kung may mga kulang o mali man eh lagay nyo na lang sa comments section.
Nilagay ko na din mga links sa opening songs nila. Memorable ang shit na yun.
Also hindi ko na lalagyan ng date aired dahil incomplete ang data, pero I'll try to mention what day it was scheduled to air back then. I wish I had a sharper memory.
Wag na din pansinin yung opinyon ko. Nood nalang kayo with the links.
Di kasali dito ang Korean shit at Chinese shit tulad ng kalbong si San Mao. At Tokusatsu/ Super Hentai Sentai, sadly, di ko na sinali. Nakakapagod mag type.
GMA 7- sandigan ng mga anime lovers noon, na may bloc pa sa primetime (!) noong late 90's to early 00's. Ngayon puro kupal nalang, panggagaya, shaming, pekeng bakla, mga artistang kulang sa workshop, pointless sigawan/gratuitous catfights, at walang kamatayan na reruns ng anime. Paulit ulit. Nakakagalit. Tangina nyo GMA7. Tangina ninyong lahat.

• Ghost Fighter- Eto weekdays to, mga alas-sais or alas-siete ng gabi tapos narerevert ng hapon then naging pangumaga. Mainstay ng GMA 7, siguro may sampung beses nang na re-run for like a decade. Suki amputa. Memorable din dahil may dismemberment on-screen at yung mga ka-DDS audience ng mga laban laging collateral damage. Nauso din yung rei gun sa pwet at mga pumoporsyento ng kalamnan ala Toguro.
  
• Mojacko- Lumolobong alien, lasing na robot, at patatas ng kalawakan. Bottomless din ang sikmura at magaling sa cunillingus. Medyo satisfying yung ending. (note: Di ko makita yung opening video, baka meron sa Vimeo. So heto yung full song, "Chu Chu Chu" by Cripton.)
  
• Lupin III- Mga sikat na magnanakaw. Ringleader si Lupin... na sobrang madulas, parang palos. Kasama niya sina Daisuke Jigen (parang FPJ kung bumaril, mas maganda lang manamit si Jigen), Ishikawa Goemon (Dating kalaban ni Lupin na naging kasangga. Imba ang putanginang katana), at si Fujiko Mine na mapang-akit at puro dibdib. Ginawang live-action shit starring Richard Gutierrez pero walang kwenta yun. Promise. Walang kwenta.
  
• Flame of Recca- Parang Ghost Fighter. Dito din ata unang narinig ang salitang "Hokage" (AFAIK, before Naruto) na sobrang misused ngayon. Bida si Recca obviously, na magaling maglaro ng apoy. Sobrang cool ng lineage niya, Hokage (literally) ang tatay. Immortal din ang nanay niyang MILF.
  
• Hell Teacher Nube- Dito nauso ang kuko na gawa sa papel. Monday nights to sa aking pagkakatanda. Yung ending song kinanta ng malupit na malupit na B"z.
  
• Sorcerer hunters- Parang Demonyong Torero ang bida dito. Madami ding magagandang dilag. Heto, dede inside.
  
• Master of Mosquiton '99- Eto ang masasabi ko : It's a better love story than Twilight.
  
• Monster Rancher- Isang lumulundag na mata, emotional na bato, aroganteng lobo na nangunguryente, at palautot na kuneho. Depressing ang ending episode. At yung ending song.
  
• Visions of Escaflowne- Medieval-shit pero mecha, shoujo mecha. Critically acclaimed ata to pero UNDERRATED. At sarap pakinggan ang theme song nina Maaya Sakamoto. Nakakaaya.
  
• Tanginang Pokemon- Eto ok din ito. Si Ash naglalakbay. Mahilig sa balls tong batang to. Hanggang ngayon naglalakbay padin. Pinakamasarap padin si Misty. Fite me. May critically-acclaimed na kanta din pala si Kya Wil ukol diyan... Napakaprofound.
  
• Fushigi Yuugi- Eto ang paboritong idrawing ng mga batang babaeng gustong maging mangaka. Memorable din dahil may mga gay moments.
  
• Striker: Hungry Heart Soccer shit na hindi gaanong over the top katulad ng Eyeshield 21. Pero may obligatory flaming winning shot.
  
• Doraemon- Napakatanda ng anime na ito. May robot na pusa, nudity, at sintunadong kontra-bida.
  
• Voltes V- Ayaw ni Marcos nito. Napaka satisfying panoorin ang transformation. Memorable masyado ang theme song. Ayoko ng i-cklick ang link.
  
• Daimos- Mas trip ko to kesa Voltes V dahil may samurai na naka-afro. At may love theme. Ayoko lang yung bagong dub na na-broadcast kamakailan lang.
  
• Combattler V (Na sabi daw ay godfather ni Voltes V, WTF?)
  
• Zoids (Chaotic at New Century. The best yung Chaotic century.) (note: yung non-japanes version ng opening ang pinakita dito)
  
• Time Traveller Flint (Yung taong bato naghahanap ng itlog sa iba't ibang panahon. Yung martilyo... tatay nya yun.)
  
• Hunter X Hunter (Yung di matapos tapos na putang-inang to. Buti yung 2011 natapos ko hanggang end ng Chimera ants) Spoil ko na din, nagkita na sina Gon at ama niya.
  
• Knight Hunters (Weiss Kreuz ata, yung apat na magkakapatid na gwapings. Tuwing Linggo ito)
  
• Outlaw Star (Malalaking baril at dibdib)
  
• Hajime no Ippo Underrated to (at least sa ibang bansa). Ayos ang character development. Memorable yung characters (seriously, kahit mga minor chracters tulad nina Ozuma at Mashiba). Yung bida mahilig mag Dempsey Roll tapos matatalo lang sa SPOILER AHEAD pinoy)
  
• Witch Hunter Robin (Napakaunderrated nito. I love the opening song.)
  
• Shaman King (Oversoul daw.) (note: Di ko makita ang original japanese na opening AMV)
  
• Virtua Fighter (Eto yung reasons bakit madaming suntukan sa eskwala. Gagayahin tapos tinototoo.)
  
• Meitantei Conan Binatang naging bata. Masasamang tao na laging nakaitim. Mga krimen na imposible, daig pa ang SOCO)
  
• Bubblegum Crisis (Nakabaluti. Babae. Seksi.) (note: di ako sure kung ito nga yung op nya)
  
• yung pure fanservice na Tenjou Tenge Eto puro suso talaga ito. Putang ina talaga, galing ni Ogure Ito (Oh! Great!) (note: putangina yung dancestep ni Aya Natsume)
  
• Full Metal Alchemist ( Ito very cool itong anime na ito.)
  
• Full Metal Panic! Si Kuya Cardo pag naging anime at pag walang zoom at nilagyan ng madaming mecha. (note: not sure kung nabbroadcast yung OP)
  
• InuYasha (Dati din sa Channel 2 ito)

• Ojo Majo DoReMi
  
• Medabots (Underrated to. Ancool pa ng robot design)
  
• Cho Mashin Hero Wataru (Dragonbot alam ko tawag dito)
  
• Cat's Eye Kung naging babae sina Lupin. Sila yung tipong mag aacrobatics pag nakakita ng laser.
  
• Trigun Astigin. Puro baril. Puro disyerto din. Kainit-initan pero nago-overcoat ang bida. Sheer badassery. (WARNING: PETMALU ANG OPENING)
  
• Yung nakakalalakeng Baki the Grappler Isa sa mga pinaka-nakakalalakeng anime na nakita ko tulad ng 'Fist of the North Star' (na grabe kung makapaglamog ng laman onscreen) (note: masarap ipang gym ang opening, basta pagtiisin ang 'engrish')
  
• Cowboy Bebop Tangina yung nagsasabi na di nila gusto ang Cowboy Bebop. Yung theme palang na gawa ni Yoko Kanno eh, ulam na!
  
• Saiyuuki Kung yung Buddhism nilagyan ng cowboy shit at original na Goku.
  
• Slam Dunk Isa sa mga best animes na napanood ko. Petmalu ang characters, kahit yung minor characters matatandaan mo talaga (Kilala mo si Ikegami?). Hayop ang pacing, dalawang episodes na di pa din pumapasok ang three-points ni Kogure. Tsaka may character development. Yung tipong mas may dimensions pa mga characters kesa sa mga telenovela ng GMA ngayon? (note: Walang kupas ang opening)
  
• Gundam G ( Yung may god finger. Ginagawa ko din sa kama.) Eto yung anime na puro novelty ang mga gundam. May toro, may windmill, may para sa sugarol. (Note: Eto yung opening noong Gundam Shining ang gamit ni Domon)
  
• Gundam X (na buti nalang ay tinapos) (Eto yung theme noon naging X-2 (DOS EKIS!) yung gundam ni Garrod. Ringtone ko yan.)
  
• Gundam Wing (na may paapremyo pa pag nagsend ka ng entries sa GMA.) (Two-mix ang kumanta dito. Nakidnap sila sa isang episode ng Detective Conan)
  
• Air Master- Napakalupit na dilag. Opening palang may brutalan na at fan service.
  
• Alice in Wonderland- OK din ito kung trip mo ang rabbithole. English yung alam kong theme song na ipinalabas dito.
  
• Bakugan Battle Brawlers- Eto yung laruan na bilog pero nagiging malupit na hayop... so the makers wants us to believe.
  
• B-daman- Yung tipong bomberman pero tumitira ng jolens.
  
• Bleach- Sa una maganda. Naging boring habang tumatagal. Daming characters. OP din si bida.
  
• Captain Fatz- Mapapahiya ang gold's gym sa fitness regime ng bida dito. Naghahanap din siya ng mga bato. Masakit sa tenga yung opening, huehue.
  
• Charlotte- Matandang anime to.
  
• Chrono Crusade- Yung madre may baril. At fan service. Dios Mio.
  
• Desert Punk- Putangina. Malupit. Nasa disyerto. Tangina, troll lang yung opening MV dahil sa live action shit hahaha.
  
• Dragon Ball, DBZ Frieza to Cell arcs, DBZ Majin Buu arc- PUTANGINA TONG ANIME NA ITO. Nakakalalake. Seriously. Sobrang memorable kasi kahit shit ang story-telling. Walang kwentang ama si Goku na uuwi lang para kumain at makipagbugbugan at mang-anak. Puro masels ang mga bida, pero si Goku lang ang laging may ilalakas pa. Napagiiwanan lagi ang kalbo.
  
• Dragon Ball GT- Shit ito. Lumiit si Goku. May apo pero nakakainis sobra. May robot din na peste. Di ko sinama sa taas dahil di deserving, at di ata canon. Magsisisi ka pag pinanood mo ito. Pero kung vice ganda lang ang nasa next MMFF, eh, ito nalang panoorin mo.
  
• Fairy Tail- Yung bida mahilig maglaro ng apoy. Puro magic. May magagandang dilag din, at kung ano anong shit.
  
• Grendizer- Isipin mo nalang si Mazinger Z, pero may sungay.
  
• Hamtaro Panoorin mo kung nagaalaga ka ng dagang kosta (joke lang, guinea pig yan).
  
• Hayate the Combat Butler- Yung alalay na malupit at may among chikababes.
  
• Nobody's Boy: Remi- Di ko maalala pero ilalagay ko na.
  
• Majin Bone- Di ko din maalala pero ilalagay ko na.
  
• Marco- Yung batang Italyano na hinahanap ang nanay (OIW kasi)... Dapat pumunta nalang siya kay Jessica Soho.
  
• Mushiking- UWANG! UWANG NA ANIME! May anime talaga ang lahat ng bagay sa mundo.
  
• Monsuno- Hindi ito yung GMO. Isa sa mga 'toyline' anime like Beyblade.
  
• One Piece- Oo. Late 90's ito at hindi na natapos-tapos. Eto yung bida gumogoma at gustong maging hari ng pirata. Kung ano ano nang shit ang inintroduce pero all in all OK padin ang story. May mga dibdib din. Pustahan, mauunang matatapos ang series ni Kuya Cardo.
  
• Perrine
  
• Pollyana
  
• PowerPuff Girls Z- Mas OK aesthetically ang version ng Japan sa original PPG.
  
• Prince of Tennis- This is cheating dahil alam ko Channel 11 ito, but what the hell. Ito yung tennis na may kung ano anong shit tulad nito. Adik dito yung barkada ko.
  
• Rockman EXE- Si Megaman ng makabagong panahon.
  
• Rune Soldier- Astig na bidang adventurer,at mga kasanggang puro dibdib.
  
• Sunny Pig- Baboy. Baboy na nakatakas sa drawing. OK din ang theme song na kanta ni Tsunami.(note: putangina hirap hanapin ng original opening niyan)
  
• Super Yo-yo- Diba sabi ko may anime para sa lahat ng bagay? Ewan ko bakit naging craze ito dati. Pinangbabato ko lang ito pag napipikon na ako sa aking kalaro.
  
• Toriko- Kung naging mas astig at kung nagpupushups si Boy Logro at nagpakulay ng buhok at tinanggal ang "yum yum yum" shit, eto na ang resulta. Nakakagago ang mga hinahanap ng bida.
  

Sa ABC 5 noon ok din ang anime pag gabi. Ngayong TV5 na eh, may mga nilabas din sila na anime tulad ng Code Geass kaso parang palaos ang station. Sad!

• Eto Rangers- Chinese zodiac signs na mga bida na nakasakay sa isang pegasus. Kalaban nila yung pusang nagrerebelde dahil di daw kasali sa 12 zodiac signs. Probably naimpluwensyahan sya dito.
  
• Dragon League (Yung football na parang Captain Tsubasa pero mga dinosaurs ang mga supporting characters)
  
• F! (Gago tong hayop na bida nito, si Gunma Akagi.) (Note: Napaka-obscure ng anime na ito kaya free episodes yung ililink ko. See for yourself)
  
• Jura Tripper (Yung nagbakasyon sila... Jurassic era)
  
• Fancy Lala (Yung batang babae na nagiging 18 years old tapos naging artista) (nakaka LSS ang kanta so watch at your own risk)
  
• Pygmalio
  
• Mahha go! (Speed racer, pero hapon.)
  
• Time Quest (Yung makulit na takuri)
  
• Sailor Moon (Yung wala si Goku) (walang kupas ang Moonlight Densetsu)
  
• Ninja Boy Rantaro eto yung Naruto, pero slapstick. At walang powers.
  
• Tora Dora
  
• Mon Colle Knights
  
• Shakugan no Shana
  
• Shulato parang Saint Seiya to.
  
• Azumanga Daioh
  
• Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok
  
• Tokyo Maijin
  
• Mai Hime
  
• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
  
• Putaninang Maki Baoh Yung tipong art palang eh nakakatawa na talaga. Malas ka pag mejo di ka kagandahan/kagwapuhan at puro alaskador ang mga kasama mo dahil tatawagin kang Maki-Baoh. Putangina din yung ending song.
  
• D Grey Man
  
• Coyote Ragtime Show Eto yata yung may hinahanap na kayamanan sa loob ng kaha na rubik's cube.
  
• Black Blood Brothers
  
• Code Geass. Putang ina mo Lelouch. Eto yung talagang kapana-panabik na anime. Solid din yung twist sa ending. All hail Britannia!
  
• Yamato Nadeshiko
  
• Witchblade Dito. Madaming suso.
  

Sadly sa channel 2 konti lang naaalala ko, pero dito madalas i-air yung mga World Masterpiece series. They try to show never-before-seen (unless you have internet) anime shows. Request ko lang sana palitan na yung lineup na shows pag Sunday afternoon, mga putanginang cringe na shows. Gawing anime nalang.

• The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (note: Sayang, di ko makita ang tagalog version nito.)
  
• Cinderella Swerte, dahil may nakita akong playlist na puro snippets ng tagalized versions ng mga morning anime shows.
  
• Angie Girl
  
• Get Backers
  
• Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water Also called as "Ang Mahiwagang Kuwintas" here

• Dear Boys
  
• Hitman Reborn
  
• BuBu ChaCha Yung aso na nareincarnate into a child's toy (a car)

• Princess Sarah Same as Cedie, smash hit ito, and may movie adaptation pa. Talk about asians in sweaty western dresses!
  
• Heidi
  
• Nobody's Boy: Remi/ Ie Naki Ko
  
• Remi, Nobody's Girl Putangina yung mga lobo. Putangina talaga namatay yung mga aso. Eto yung tagalog versio para sa mga resident Robin dito.
  
• Dog of Flanders Gusto mong maiyak? Naging human (and canine) popsicle ang bida sa huli.
  
• Samurai X/Rurouni Kenshin Classic shit. Theme song by Judy and Mary. Si Battousai, bagong buhay (nagrhyme din, salamat oh lord). Epic padin ang Kenshin-Shishio fight dahil putangina yung buildup (which was adapted into a live-action movie). Mas pinanood ko to every night sa Studio 23.
  
• Kuroko no basuke not sure, sa channel 2 din ata. Hot take: OK ang animation, makabago eh, but Slam Dunk has a better story (Takehiko Inoue ftw).
  
• Gin Tama Di ka lasing, pre. Tungkol ito sa isang freelancer na samurai.
  
• Little Women
  
• Akazukin ChaCha (may tagalog ata ito pero di ko ililink kung meron man. Manigas ka, Robin)
  
• Yung tanginang Beyblade. Isa din sa mga 'toyline' anime. Napagastos ako dito. May mga patimpalak din sa noontime show noon sa dos. Ewan.
  
• B't X Shit. Shit talaga. Tanda ko na.
  
• Blue Blink . Yung asul na tupang nangunguryente. The best yung theme song, tagalized! Matutwa si Robin... kaso wala sa Youtube.
  
• Card Captor Sakura Batang babae na may kakaibang mga baraha. May bagong season ito last I heard. Adik dito SO ko.
  
• Cooking Master Boy yung boy logro ng anime.
  
• Yakitate Japan! Boy Logro din minus the yum yum yum yum part
  
• Crush Gear Yung tipong tamiya pero bump car na parang death race na ewan. Toyline anime din.
  
• Digimon (pantapat sa Pokemon siguro)
  
• Yu-Gi-Oh! Baraha na nabubuhay. Attack and defense. Dami kong baraha nito.
  
• Hana Yori Dango Yung original na F4... bago kinopya ng mga intsik Taiwanese.

• Rave Groove, adventure daw. Yung gumawa nito yun din gumawa sa Fairy Tail.

• School Rumble
  
• Sgt Keroro Palaka. Sundalo.
  
• Fruits Basket English op
  
• His and Her Circumstances Asar, muntik ko matype ang circumcision.

• Mary's Secret Garden Eto yung tagalog OP
  
• Swiss Family Robinson
  
• Yaiba
  
• Neon Genesis Evangelion By popular reddit comment. Hindi ko kasi siya napanood. Pero tangina padin si Shinji. At mas tangina ang Gainax.

Isingit ko na din yung sa Channel 13 noon.

• Crayon Shin-Chan (Si Andrew E ata nag dub?) Batang puro kabalbalan ang alam. Gratuitous din ang pagpapakita ng etits. May anime para sa lahat.
  
• Cyborg Kurochan (Yung theme song kinanta ng SALBAKUTA!) Pusa na robot na mahilig manira gamit ang gattling gun niya.
  

That's all folks!
