For me, one of the funniest Top Tens ever. Mainly because most, if not all the names actually exist. I remember it was such a hit when we did this. I actually want to download the podcast for this episode if ever Blue Ritz was able to upload it. It was fun re-posting!

Strange Fruit 
number 15 is a bit wrong.. i’m from imus cavite and that’s called “patindig araw” .. and i live at “tanzang luma” which is entry # 32.. =))
I couldn’t stop myself from laughing… Anyway, in tagaytay there is a baranggay pokpokan.
Haven’t heard baranggay Pokpokan BUT baranggay Palocpoc in Mendez, Cavite. An adjacent town of Tagaytay City.
Err. Municipality not town…hehe
In bulacan, there is a barangay gaya-gaya and gaya-gaya elementary school. Ganito magturo yung mga teachers: class, gayahin nyo ako..
Thanks for the chuckles! I know for some names, they are in their own dialects. But what about the Tagalog ones? Sino kaya nag-isip ng mga pangalan?
#15 is not correct. it’s not matinding araw in imus cavite. it is patindig araw
In Bataan, there’s a barangay named “Barangay Silahis”
Number 1. These are barangays (with Batong Malake, Malinta and Maahas) in the Science and Nature City of Los Banos. Anos and Bayog are not towns.
I once saw this in one of my co-passengers bag tag, while waiting for a domestic flight:
Jeanette Bayot
Brgy. Bading, Butuan City
I also have a block mate before: her family name in Bualat and they live in Buagina St., Oroquieta City.
“15. In Imus, Cavite, Barangay Buhay na Tubig is right beside Barangay Matinding Araw.”
There is no “Barangay Matinding Araw” in Imus. Instead, there’s a PATINDIG Araw, next to Buhay na Tubig.
There’s a town in Germany called Fucking.
“Where are you going?”
“In Fucking Germany to study in those Fucking Schools.”
Fucking is in Austria.
There is Hell which is a village in Norway
Barangay Tulo in Calamba Laguna really exists. (Entry no. 31) Taga doon kasi ako..hahaha…everytime na sasakay kami ng jeep magtitinginan ang mga pasahero at tatawa na lang…sa bus naman, mahihiya kang sabihin kung saan ka bababa kasi kapag malapit na sa barangay namin, sisigaw na ang konduktor ng TULO, o yung may TULO jan lapit na lang po! kaya ako kapag sasakay ng bus ang sinasabi ko yung kalapit na barangay namin…pareho lang din naman ang bayad…hehehehe
i think everyone’s familiar with Macabebe, Pampanga. nothing wrong with it… until an American asks directions and pronounces it “make-a-baby”… as in ‘Do you know the way to Macabebe?’ 😀 heehee
There’s no Brgy. Tampalpuke in Lucena City. Tampalpuke is a kind of fish. 😀
natawa ako sa #32.hahaha..kaloka :))
In Pampanga, there’s a place called “caduang tete” (second bridge)
Makes you wonder how they came up with the names…

There is a barangay kilikili in Samar

3 Dadykid – In Cebu, a town called Baklayon.
In Cebuano dialect, Baklayon (from the word baklay)means “to hike”
The town is just on the foot of a mountain.
That’s the legend of the town’s name. 😀
meron din sa Butuan ‘yung #16. 😀
There’s a town in Capiz called Sapian. If someone asks you where you are, you answer: “Nasa Sapian ako”. 🙂
Also there’s a Brgy. Tatalon in Quezon City and a footbridge with a big “Tatalon” sign.
