MANGER-IRRELEVANT
According to one pastor here, it's rare nowadays or seldom anyone can find a manger or mangers in Mindanao. Maybe in Bukidnon, in Cotabato or Davao where cows, goats and horses are bred, mangers may be found. And what is amazing is the word, manger has become irrelevant. In Visayan, manger is PASUNGAN. And the younger generation here hardly understand what a PASUNGAN is. There has already a language irrelevance that a word becoming extinct and no longer accepted while other words evolve.
