"Alimango" (Crab): The Subject of a Popular Children's Song

Tong, Tong, Tong Pakitong-kitong is the title of a popular Tagalog children's song about the alimango or crab. The title is an onomatopoeic reference to the way the alimango  moves. The lyrics go like this:

Tong, tong, tong, tong pakitong-kitong
Alimango sa dagat
Malaki at masarap!
Kay hirap hulihin, 
Sapagkat nangangagat.

TRANSLATION:

Tong, tong, tong, tong pakitong-kitong
Crab in the sea,
Big and tasty!
So difficult to catch,
because it bites.

In 1998, a comedy film titled Tong Tatlong Tatay Kong Pakitong-Kitong opened in theaters. This Star Cinema production features then-child actress Serena Dalrymple as the orphan Jingle. It also features Babalu, Redford White, and Bonel Balingit as the wacky trio who adopted her.
