In what diction this text belongs, “The next morning Ka Pedro held a gapi. He procured a white dumalaga chicken and had it dressed. Then he asked Rufo to gather tuba from a nearby sugar palm. The tuba came in three large bowls of coconut shell, and this with the chicken, spread on banana leaves in a winnowing basket, some soft meat of a roasted pig, a platter heaped with steaming rice, and some buyo leaves and betel nut, completed the food-offering. It is indeed the very best that we can give now to the Spirits, said Tatay Kanut, and with that he strutted off with it to the clearing. The men watched him till he disappeared among the tall, grey trunks of the trees. “See his shaky legs!” said Rufo. He walks like a lame simarong!” - An excerpt from “Life and Death in a Mindoro Kaingin”, N. V. M. Gonzalez
