Intriguingly Glued On Manjuyod
My Negros Oriental Tour: Municipality of Manjuyod Changing bases again! After Bais, I decided that it was time to move northwards and look for a base from which to ‘operate’ my roams. Decidedly, it had to be San Carlos (already a part of Negros Occidental). But I felt Manjuyod was just too near Bais, so I told myself this town should be a fly-by before I actually move into San Carlos, because there was nothing much in my list to see at Manjuyod town center. Everything mentioned about this town is/are out at sea (the sandbar) or out in the mountains (forest, caves and so on). And drop by I did! Oh, let’s do the tongue-twisters again please?! ‘Manjuyod’ is a unique word to pronounce! The "man" sounds like ‘mon’ in ‘month’ or even ‘mun’ in ‘munch’. The next syllable "ju" is pronounced as in the English word ‘who’ or the "ju" in ‘junta’. And the last syllable "yod" is pronounced the way you would say "you’d" and not the ‘yod’ in ‘yoda’! So
