Danlak

RIVER fishermen call them danlak, Hiligaynon for slimy. I don’t know what they are but they rise from the grounds along the bank of the Iloilo River at the Sooc-Navais area. They appear to be like jellyfish or some sort of oil as they don’t mix with water. I believe they come from waste, having noticed piles of garbage nearby.
