My most viewed entry in my blog has always been the scientific names in the song “Bahay Kubo.” Recently, there was a new segment on Showtime, “Throwbox,” in which they asked for the English name of sigarilyas, which I agree is difficult, especially for vegetables we do not commonly consume. So, here is my entry to learn the English name/s of the vegetables in the song Bahay Kubo.
Bahay-kubo, kahit muntiAng halaman doon ay sari-sari
Singkamas (Jícama, Mexican yam bean, Mexican turnip, or Spanish jícama) at talong (Eggplant, aubergine)
Sigarilyas (Winged bean) at mani (Peanut)
Sitaw (String bean), bataw (Hyacinth beans), patani (Lima beans)
