Wow! What a great week of staying in Ilocos and taking a break from doing laundry! Since I was already in Ilocos Norte, what better way to spend it but to write and record all the Ilocano terms i see there. Most of the terms below are actually campiagn messages from politicians runing for the midterm elections next week. The only ones I really understand are the terms "Ibotos/Ibutos/Ilayon Tayo!" (Iboto Natin/Let's Vote) and Annak Ti Batac (Anak ng Batac/Child of Batac). Ilocos has a totally different culture as compared here in Manila. But I tell you all about on my next blog entry.
here they are:
Rangay ti Sangkailan
Ilayon a vocal
Taklin dagiti pada nga nakurapay
Isubli tayo ti napudno a panagserbi
Pudno a Gayyem
Dios ti Angnganen
Dios to kumugay
Magsidalus iti arusbayan kaya
Maayat ken napudno nga agserbi
Ilayon tayo
Annak ti Batac
Ibutos tayo
Isubli tayo ti napudno a panagserbi
Namnama ti masakbayan
