We’ve been trying to dig in on what else we could share about Batangas that most of us still don’t know yet. With the 31 towns and 3 cities which comprise the whole province, it’s quite a big challenge to unravel all those things which are truly our own.
We have destinations that magnetize people from all walks of life, from different parts of the country and from outside the borders of the archipelago.
But apart from the breathtaking vistas that we see, one of the first things that reveal our identity as Batangueños to the non-natives of our province is our flamboyant language.
Batangas is said to be the “Heart of the Tagalog Language”. Here we are again. I miss the thread of conversations that stemmed from our Famous Batangueños Words and Expressions which even had a sequel.
Should we go for a third installment? HAHAHA.
If you can translate these words in no time, Batangueño ka nga.
