"Bayawak" is "monitor lizard" in English. There are two species of
monitor lizards in the Philippines. One is the common monitor and the
other is the rare Gray's monitor. I believe that the latter can only be
found in some areas of Batangas, Laguna, and Quezon.

"Bayawak" in English is "brother-in-law".
"Hipagak" is "sister-in-law"
"Biyenawak" is father/mother-in-law.

hope this helps,

Eric

Many years ago (more than I care to remember, actually) I worked at the
Center for Educational TV in Loyola Heights, QC. I walked into the
studio one morning to find a bayawak sitting in the center of the room,
frozen still by the bright lights. We caught it and later that evening
we made adobo from it (mostly the tail) and had a small party. I wonder
if that was one of the rare Gray's monitors???

Monitor lizard. Used to keep some as pets.

The people down under call them "goannas," which is a corruption
of "iguana," a different sort of lizard.

Baka naman mag-lolo sila. Bakit yung bayawak ay maliit,
samantalang yung komodo ay napakalaki?

Bayawak: "Slander iyan!"

Buwaya: "Napagkamalan nanaman tayo. Nakakainis na iyan, ah!"

Bayawak: Yung mga lalaking nag hahanap ng mga Pilipina pen-pal.

Buwaya: Yung mga babaing nang aagaw ng aking mga kaaliwan.
