Totally Different Things
in Tagalog

By Pi Palaganas-Orillosa

Filipino or Tagalog is the primary language in the Philippines. But we have 19 recognized languages, and Bikolano is one of them. And Bikolano, while it’s soothing and malambing-sounding, it’s one of those languages that can make you feel a bit uncomfortable. The region has words that some of us won’t even dare to say out loud.

Except when you know what they mean, that is.
