Both: Good afternoon, everyone, we are group 1 and we will be talking about the

Filipino folk song called “Sitsiritsit Alibangbang”

Ania: Sitsiritsit, also known as Sitsiritsit Alibangbang is a Filipino folk song. This
humorous song describes a flirtatious woman threatening a storeowner that the
ants are going to get him if he is not going to extend credit.

Arcy: Also, this Filipino folk song suggests ways the woman may exchange her
child in the store for either a doll or a bagoong, a Philippine food made of
fermented fish.

Ania: This song’s origin is unclear but it is said to have originated during the
country’s Spanish Colonization, as its lyrics suggest the ordinary life during that
time.

Arcy: The melody of the song is similar to Fly, Fly the butterfly, another Filipino
folk song but in the English language.

Ania: That’s it for our short presentation. I am Ania Jhayzel Morada

Arcy: I am Arcy Leah Ycalina

Both: And thank you for listening *bow*
