Mom and Dad sings Si Pilemon (Cebuano) 2018
‘Si Pilemon, si Pilemon namasol sa kadagatan. Nakakuha, nakakuha og isdang tambasakan. Gibaligya, gibaligya sa merkadong guba— Ang halin pulos kura, ang halin pulos kura, Igo lang ipanuba.’
Mom and Dad chats: Ang ibig sabihin: kura is Japanese money – sell the fish just enough to buy tuba.
Mom (refers to story sharing after singing ends): “That was cute.”
