Salagubang
Rhett Valino Pascual
Hey! Anyone eat salagubang fried? I used to when in the provinces. I
guess my grandfather would get it from the market. Though i still can't
figure out where you would get it besides the market. I can just imagine
people trying to catch the pesky little insects.
It was gross having to pull out those long legs. Kinda crunchy though.

My parents used to cook them adobo style. We used to gather (catch) them by
shaking tree branches, mostly mango branches, during day-time when they're
asleep.

When I was a little kid growing in the Philippines, I used to catch
those salagubang in the mango trees... When I wake up early in the
morning during rainy days, I'll go to my next door neighbour who
happens to have several mangoe trees and start shaking them [yes,
shaking them as they are not big enough yet] and then the salagubang
who happen to be sleeping in that tree will just fall.
I don't know why those salagubang like the mangoes tree... But
sometimes, they also like the chesa (sp?) tree (anybody like those
chesa fruits?). Of course, you can also find the salagubang in the
pine tree but it is very hard to shake those trees so you just need
to climb or get a 'panungkit' to get all those salagubang...

Hahaha... Those legs has a similarity with cockcroach, have you tried
one. When I was in primary school, there was this one student who used
to eat cockcroach and 'butiki' alive...

get to the forest while before sunrise to shake the trees. Are we talking
about the abal-abal? Anyway, that's the one we used to play with and
which would be fried. I never ate them, however. Heck, I was only 7 when
I first saw them fried. The bugs were bigger than I was!

did used to eat them (adobo-style, I remember her say). But for some strange
reason, the idea of us kids eating them (I'm 22 now) wasn't very appealing. Hey
some people out there eat crickets, so I guess they're edible... But I do
recall a time when my Lola (God bless her soul) used to shake the sampalok
tree around tag-ulan in the morning so they would all fall to the ground and
us kids would pick them up (hundreds of them would fall!) so we can tie either
the legs or the neck part of them with string and use them as toys. We would
bounce the little suckers on the ends of the string so they could fly! Most of
the time, after a few days of this they would die (Only lately have I realized
that we were abusing the poor buggers [excuse the pun]) and we would have a
little funeral for them in a matchbox complete with crosses and candles.
That's what I remember from my childhood about salagubangs...

Notice that you'll find more salagubangs in the trees after a rainy day.
Anyone care to explain why?

The life cycle of the salagubang is tied with the coming of the rainy
season. Normally hibernating underground, their biological clocks
wake them up when the rains come or else they will drown. Now, I will
not swear by this story which was related by a distant 'lolo' when
I was in the province. I prefer the salaginto which is almost like a
jewel with its yellow-green translucent wings.
However, as we boys grew older, we started looking for the giant
rhinoceros beetles or Uwang with chestnut-brown wings and impressive
looking horns! Or how about those giant Japanese snails, anybody
remember those slimy guys?

Hey! I used to bury dead birds in matchboxes and dig them up about three
months later. unfortunately, i guess the dogs got to them cause the
boxes would all be gone. But then again, maybe the multo got them

Regarding cure for asthma, (Hindi yung "Ask ma wife...")
I heard in the province that dried and ground TUKO (gecko)
is more effective.
Please email me if it really works.
Thanks a lot,

Cicada! I remember that band, it was started by Babic Flores in La Salle.
That was where Randy Santiago got discovered, way back when.
Had Bodjie Dasig on keyboards too... he's the guy wrote (and sang) "Ale" and

It's some kind of June beetle. I've heard they're good, though I
haven't tried any.

What do you call the one that looks like a bigger salagubang but has a
little rhino horn on its head? I know there's the salaguinto, salagubang
and this one.

Those are called 'uwang (oo-wang)' in Tagalog or rhinoceros beetle,
or coconut beetle. They are giants compared to the salagubang, with
chestnut brown wings and the impressive pair of rhino horns. As a
boy, I grew tired of the salagubangs and along with my friends we
hunted for those giant beetles. When we showed them to the girls
at school, they screamed in fear and run away. Naughty, naughty!
As a food source, the uwang is equivalent to say 3 or 4 salagubangs
because the uwang's huge head and wings are inedible. However,
they are not as plentiful.

Ganoon din ang tawag ng aking mga bisayang kababata doon sa
Mandaluyong. Ang ginagawa pa nga nila ay pinagdidikit ang
likod ng dalawa sa pamamagitan ng bebelgam tapos itatagilid
nila at kung sino ang unang makakatayo ay siyang panalo.
Ang sabi naman ng aking kasama rito na si Dante Amores, ang
tawag sa Ilokano dito ay barrairong (dahil matigas raw ang
ulo or suwail kaya may sungay). Dito kaya sa scf sino ang
barrairong? :-)
Di ba ang salaginto ay 'yong may matingkad na kulay gold? Ano
naman kaya ang tawag doon sa may matingkad na kulay berde --
Salaberde? :-)
sige,
