"Kusinilo Si Bao" is a Filipino folksong based on Maguindanao folk chant. This contemporary composition is a funny setting about a turtle who works as a chef with parts of its body used as the kitchen utensils. The rough translation of the song says: Dendi, dendi, dendi, bona, dendi. The turtle is a good chef, a complete kitchen too. His head is the grater. His stomach is the stove. His tail is the ladle, dendi bona dendi. And his legs are firewood, a dendi bona dendi”.
