———————-Alphabetical Order ————————-

Halimbawa:

( A )

• Agong-ong – is a fruit bearing tree grows in the inclined hilly land of Sibale island, its trunk is similar to “bougainvillae“, a thorny and woody flowering plant. Its maximum height is about 6 to 10 feet, having dark green leaves. Its fruit is usually considered to be sweet and fleshy, highly desirable as in plums, a red color when it is ripe; however, though it looks sweet, its fruity taste is like unripe apple. Sibalenhon folks called it “Agong-ong” because once you bite it you will love it to be inside your mouth drawing its sour taste out of the hard outer shell containing the very seed.

• Arangha – is a native “lime” of Sibale, a small acid-tasting citrus fruit with a thin green rind and green flesh, usually used its juice as a seasoning to make their native food(s) more delicious especially when they prepare broth called “inaslum” in “Asi” dialect.  An “inaslum” is a clear soup made by cooking meat, poultry, fish, seafood, or vegetables in water usually prepared and served during lunch time.  Also, “arangha” is a good flavor for “pakasam” or “bago-ong“, an item of food made of salty small fish stocked for a month before it is being served.  A “pakasam” or “bago-ong“, flavored with “arangha juice”, is an alternative viand of Sibalenhon during stormy weather.  “Arangha” is an ever-green tree that can be cultured or grown at the backyard of their own house.

( B )

• Bubu – is a fish trap, made of woven strips of bamboo, that is being used by Sibalenhon’s fishermen to catch fish like “hamour” or “lapu-lapu”, “maya-maya”, a red fish, and etc. It has an opening-mouth, shape of triangle, as a trapdoor that once a big fish entered through can’t escape anymore. It is a device designed by talented-old Sibalenhon folks. In a tropical island like Sibale Island, such kind of fish trap is commonly used by islanders to catch big fish for their own personal consumption. Their technique is that they plunged it down into a bottom of the sea with water depth ranges from 6 to 10 feet for overnight before it is being hauled in the morning. A piece of food called “paon” or “bait” is placed inside in it as a lure to attract hungry fish. Bubu has a size of about 68 inches diameter of width and 24 inches of height. Some of them are round in shape that can still be seen once you’re in the island.
