I would often hear the elders refer to a woman who, though still young or single, is no longer a virgin as “hindi na dalaga”. Overtime, the word “dalaga” has been loosely used to refer to a young woman or a lass.

Whenever we want crabs and I’m quite sure that my mom’s BP is a bit stable, I usually go to Guagua (Pampanga) to buy them. Prices range from 350 and up / kg and usually that’s without haggling (I’m not really good at it). I think their prices are low because Guagua and the town next to it, Sasmuan have a lot of fishponds (sorry I don’t know how you call the place where you grow crabs and shrimps). I usually buy my suahe from there too at an average of 250- 350/kg.

Only fishermen with commercial license are allowed to catch dungeoness varieties. And even for rock crabs, they have a 6 inch minimum required measurement from end to end of the crab shell. I’m not sure what the law is now, but I’m thinking it has to be more stringent now.

Donselya i think is coloquial term for virgin. Never realized they have bakla for crabs. I also heard that the chesapeake blue crabs they sell in Maryland are no longer locally sourced, and really coming from SouthEast Asia? and that might be the reason you can still buy female blue crabs online?

That’s one Tagalog “b” word I should remember. Another is balasak for average.
