THE WATER WORLD

ctto: Pana It is a long gun-looking spear. It is an assembly of wood, rubber, rubber band and bicycle or umbrella spoke. You can design it for long-distance hunt (pinalagput) or short-distance (pinadukot). The traditional version is: Cut a foot-long (remove the buko) X half-inch diameter bamboo. Insert spoke in the hole, tie rubber on both sides of the bamboo on one end and the spoke on the other. Pull the spoke then release it for a hit. This comes with pinadukot mode only. On a typical day, you see a guy with a mile-long nylon-string filled with anga, ilabo, iswil (absolutely no pait-pait) and more. He is my cousin, Abelardo Belardo Sanchez Yobero (may God grant you eternal peace, Do Belardo!). He is the un-disputed King! It is all fun, well almost! One day, David, another river-dweller with reputation was on his daily-run. With his pinadukot, he mistook his own toe for an anga, his favourite prey. See? even a pro can make a freak-mistake!
