MANUKOSAY
Gate-crashers is the closest English equivalent I could think of.
They come uninvited to any occasion where food and drinks is served.
Though the word used to be associated to a funeral: weddings, baptisms, birthdays, anniversaries and the likes, are not passed-up.
It's a tradition that when a family loses someone, they call their Minagsoon, if they have one to assist them financially and for the final services.
In the very old days: Php20, one litsihan rice, a can of tinapa, a pack of miki was a typical amot from each family belonging to the Minagsoon.
Hikay is done the day of burial.
That's when you find every able-bodied male in the locality.
The Minagsoon handles the distribution of food.
They must be bagsik or else ilugan ka'g luwag!
Food is served in upas.
Lima mi Nong (there are five of us Sir).
They then have picnic by the river, then swim to burn calories.
Life was good.
Even then, I don't like the idea of queuing for food, and my buddies knew it.
So, they have me in mind when they say "Lima mi Nong".
They were the coolest, and mind you, they mostly come from well-to-do families.
Looks like they were just doing it for fun!
From what I gathered from pros, Aloran has been and still is The Numero Uno, but Jimenez is determined to deny Aloran the honour.
