That's not ensaymada, that's torta

COMPLAINT. At a national convention, one of the delicacies served was torta from Argao. But ushers went up to the organizers and said that many Tagalog-speaking delegates complained about the snacks served. The common complaint was, "Bakit ba itong ensaymada ninyo? Panis!" 

TORTA NOT ENSAYMADA. An usher asked an organizer, "Sir, ingon sila pan-os na kuno ang ensaymada. Unsaon man namo pag-explain sir?" The organizer replied, "Ingna sila, dili kana ensaymada, torta na. Delicacy na sa Argao. Ka ignorante pud aning mga reklamador uy."
