Makunkuna ti bago

In the bago, boredom, it seems, breeds creativity. One of our artistic sisters, Emz who is now in Japan penned the following Evolusion of Bago Sayings. Way to go, sis!

Ebolusyon ti makunkuna ti Bago

1900's:
Kablaaw, kablaaw, denggen yo

1950's:
Dadde,dadde, anya mamme,mamme
Supingaran itan, dadde,
Chanum mamme,ayeee,kitaem mamme

Chanum chanum, ayeeee...

1970's:
Chong jeproks ka ngayon aya,
Ay wen a kaasin Apo Dios piman,
Imbag man,ale intayo dita,
Ag-mountain dew dita baba,
Adon sa tsiks dita kantina...

1990's:
Wow! Ag-Japan ka gayamen a,

Ketno naka-asawat balikbayan

Grabeeeee, Cooooool man,
Ale blow-out ka man ngarud
Uray cokes lang dita.

2000's:
Hey you! Me? Yes you!
Bawal ti uminom dita,
Gumatang kat mineral water.
Adu la amin,aggapot bubon
Ti water ko, madik dayta.
Hey, poor ka man, buy this,
Water purifier, safe
And hi-tech, man, gets mo?

2007:

Where do you hang out?

If you are from Sagunto, you cannot walk by without stopping at one of these hangouts. Great minds are at work here where various topics are discussed from politics, religion, gossip, farming and employment to name just a few. See if you remember some of these places:
Martin's Cantina

Martin's Cantina - A favorite watering hole of men from Laud.



In front of the Capuyan's - a favorite place to hang out for the old men from the middle section of Sagunto.



LindaLydia Tapiod's store - the meeting place of the old women of Sagunto.


Where was your favorite hangout?
