Tabanog

 

If you may ask what is a “Tabanog”, it is a bisaya term for a “Kite”.

I want to share my thoughts and experiences when I was a kid. Back in our early years, my cousins, neighbors and I used to make “Tabanog” using materials which are highly available in our backyard. With just having, tukog silhig sticks, cellophane , glue, a thin nylon o hilo ni mama sa iyang tanuran, and a scissors you can already build one for you.

Lingaw gyud kaayo mag buhat ug tabanog labi na ug maayo na kaayo ka. Naa pay pina sukod-sukod ug style-style tahay. Usahay masobraan ras ka nindot, tiurok sad ang niluparan. 

Daghan nas mga bata karun ang wala na ka experience ug Tabanog. Naa ra ga puyo sa sulod sa balay ga dula sa ilang cellphone o computer.
