Vox Bikol and its online quiz

June 30, 2007

Crossposted from my weblog.

QUICK: What is the English word for “baligang,” that dark violet bitter fruit that tastes better when shaken vigorously with salt?

  • berry
  • plum
  • cherry
  • grape

If you answered “berry,” you got it right, as I did when I took this Bikol quiz that forms part of the newly built online home of Vox Bikol. Vox is the weekly newspaper I used to edit and for which I now write a weekly column.

Unfortunately, that was one of the only four I got right out of 10, prompting me this terse message: “Kaipuhan po na mag-adal pa nin bikol.” (You need to study Bikol more.)

The site is still work in progress, Julma Narvadez said, thanks to the effort of Fr. Tebelin and the Ina nin Bikol Foundation, Inc. which now publishes the paper. Julma’s late father, Joe, used to be the Vox publisher when I was with the paper, until his untimely demise.
But I am very happy with this development, as I have been clamoring for Vox to make its long overdue online presence felt and fill the gap in cyberspace for news, opinion and information about Naga and the Bikol region.

Why don’t you give that quiz a try and share your score with me?:)
