Harana boys

THE EAR - The Freeman
June 2, 2014 | 12:00am

"HARANA": It's not yet time for Christmas caroling. So the "jeepney mananaygon" (carolers) are making do with "harana" or serenading jeepney passengers. An Ear informer, a jeepney driver, said the street boys who forced themselves to get on a PUJ to sing Christmas carols for a fee now sing love songs like those sung by Max Surban.

"ABTIK". "Grabeng abtika nilang makasakay og nag-stop nga PUJ sa red light," said the driver. "Kasagaran tulo sila nagdalag tamborin nga tansan." The informer said to get rid of the kids fast, the passengers give them money for their song.
