Sitsiritsit, also known as Sitsiritsit Alibangbang, is a Filipino folk song. This humorous song describes a flirtatious woman threatening a storeowner that the ants are going to get him if he is not going to extend credit, as well as unusual situations of exchanging a child for a doll or bagoong. It is said to have originated during the country's Spanish colonization, as its lyrics suggest the ordinary life during that time. The melody of the song is similar to Fly, Fly the Butterfly, another Filipino folk song but in the English language.

"...salaginto't salagubang, ang babae sa lansangan, kung gumiri'y parang tandang!" This is one of my favorite songs when I was a child. I spent so many summers with my lolas and they always teach me these fun folk songs. This song, Sitsiritsit, is a Filipino folk song. This humorous song describes a flirtatious woman, threatening a store owner that the ants are going to get him if he's not going to extend credit. Here's the original lyrics:
Sitsiritsit, alibangbang. Salaginto at salagubang. Ang babae sa lansangan, kung gumiri'y parang tandangSanto Nino sa Pandakan. Puto seko sa tindahan. Kung ayaw mong magpautang. Uubusin ka ng langgamMama, mama, namamangka. Pasakayin yaring bata. Pagdating sa Maynila. Ipagpalit ng manikaAle, ale namamayong. Pasukubin yaring sanggol. Pagdating sa Malabon. Ipagpalit ng bagoongSitsiritsit, alibangbang. Salaginto at salagubang. Ang babae sa lansangan, kung gumiri'y parang tandangSource: Wikipedia Ok, enough about singing, here's our featured pen! I named it Sitsiritsit because, like the song, this set is fun and colorful. The colors remind me of Filipino folk songs and well, of our culture in general.
