It may be worth knowing why some Boholanos still bear Binisaya last names, like Bucag, Jubac, Laway, Mag-uyon, Dalagan, Lood, Bajao, etc.

Mao diay nga ang street sa pier sa Iloilo City ginganlan og Muelle Loney. Diha tingali gipangkarga ang mga tubo. A few minutes across is Jordan, Guimaras where there is an abandoned sugar refinery nga daplin sa dagat. In fact, mora'g naay conveyor padung sa cargo ship.

Obviously, absent ang carnage perpetrated by the Americans when they took over the archipelago right after the Spaniards left the country.

Shalan ba diay, No. 31 pa man diay na kutob. Atangan na lang nato ang sumpay. Pero sure ko dili nila iapil ang ilang pagpamatay sa mga lumad apil na ang pagpangsunog sa mga lungsod ug pagpatay sa mga hayopan aron lang gyud moyukbo ang mga Pilipino sa mga Amerikano.
