Blurb…    Limahong

When we do not want advice from old Lolos and Lolas, we tell them, ‘ Di na uso yan panahon pa ni Limahong’. Who is this man Limahong?

Limahong, Lim Hong or Lim Feng was a Chinese warlord and pirate in the 16^th century.  He and his group raided and plundered rich ports in Guangdung and Fujian in southern China.  By his deeds he became rich famous and notorious.

Limahong invaded northern Philippines in 1574  and even tried but failed to capture, or overthrow the Spanish colonizers in Manila.  With his 40 ships and 2000 men he was named king of the high seas,   including South China sea and West Philippines sea.

Truth to tell, the descendants of Limahong, sad to say, are still in the northern Philippines in their destructive black sand mining, smuggling Chinese products, including illegal drugs.   Today, these aggressive and combative descendants of the Chinese pirate are here with us to reclaim the kingship of their grand ancestor, Limahong.

So, when I give you advice and you say yan panahon pa ni Limahong, sorry you are wrong these descendants of the Chinese pirates are now in our shores with their three million army to plunder our resources, terrorized us and reclaim the prize and kingship of their grand ancestor,- Limahong.

Is the relation there? Lim Ja Net. Ok we stop saying panahon pa ni Limahong,  panahon pa ni Mahoma – kupung-kupung na lang. Who is this man Mahoma?  I’ll tell you later I’ll goCR popo.
