This is a Kalanguya comic song I heard being sang by my niece and nephew during a visit to my birthvillage called Nansiakan. I recorded it cuz it was so funny and I like the rhyme. :)
It is sang with the tune of the Philippine National Anthem.


Bayang Bayangbang (Town of Bayangbang)
Nanhakit hi Pollang (Pollang got sick)
Hipay hakit to (What is his illness)
Hakit ni aho. (It's the illness of a dog.)
