Bagnet is very easy to cook, it does not require much ingredients but more oil is a must since Bagnet
is a Deep-fried dish. Just be careful when cooking or deep frying Bagnet, expect a lot of hot oil
splashing.

of Bagoong Isda.

refrigerated for several hours.
In a large kawali heat enough cooking oil and deep fry pork belly at low heat for 30-45
minutes or until the pork turns brown.
Remove pork belly from the kawali and drain oil in a colander or paper towels, allow to cool
completely.
Reheat the same oil over moderate heat deep fry the pork belly once more for 10-15 minutes

One dude told us that he can still remember those times when they were playing tagu-taguan every
evening and sometimes they even play it during brownoutsmaking it harder for the taya to look for
them. He also shared to us those times when they were playing moro-moro and its always BOYS
versus GIRLS.
My other buddy shared his experience, and thats the time when they were playing patintero
wherein he wants to join a team who had members with long arms (LOL thats obviously an
advantage). All they need is a stick that they will use to carve lines on the ground, and if they will play
on a concrete floor all they need is a rock, sometimes they use water, but usually they use
charcoal (uling).
Then another friend shared how easy it was to start a game. One will ask if what game do they want
to play and it will be decided by raising the hands. Thats how they vote. There are also some
fun way to decide whos the taya, it can be by Ma-out, taya!, Kampihan!, Maalis taya, hindi
magbagotaya!
