Atimonan's Tagultol Fishing Festival is one of the many festivals celebrated in the

country. Tagultol is a popular fishing method used by Atimonanins. The word


TAGULTOL was derived from the Tagalog word UGTOL meaning bounce. In the
old days, Tagultol fishing material was made up of a rectangular stone tied at the
end of a long abaca string dip in honey. Thorns of calamansi and similar plants
were tied 2 feet above the stone. Worms, small fish or shrimps were used as bait
then dipped in water in a bouncing movement.
The five-day festivity coinciding the town fiesta and Feast of Patron Nuestra
Senora de los Angeles starts July 29 until August 2 of every year. The event is a
showcase of the rich culture of Atimonan, a display of the versatile talent, beauty,
expertise and agility of the Atimonanins.

Word-groups can be classified in several ways, e.g., according to


order of members, word-class of members, omissibility of members,
syntactic distribution, and meaning. The importance of any
classification depends on its purpose. Of primary importance in
linguistics is a structural classification, i.e. according to meaning as
expressed by other features, i.e. according to similarities and
dissimilarities of meanings, or ‘oppositions’. This kind of classification
is applied, in a preliminary way, to Chinese, Latin, and English.
