Just a quickly made podcast bringing you the third and final part of Dean Francis Alfar's "How Rosang Taba Won A Race".

You'll discover exactly why the obese Rosang Taba was able to beat the athletic Ser Pietrado in a footrace (from the Plaza Binondo, through the Street of Lost Hope, and back to the Plaza).

The story includes a drinking song in Tagalog.

Here's the rough translation:

Where were you when Rosang Taba raced? (Rosang Taba!)
At Binondo, at Plaza Binondo
Oh! I saw how embarrassed the Ispaniola were (they couldn't say a thing)
At Binondo, at Plaza Binondo

Raise, raise, raise
The glass, wine and tuba [kind of Filipino wine]
If she can do it, I can do it
If I can do it, you can do it

Where were you when Rosang Taba won? (Rosang Taba!)
At Binondo, at Plaza Binondo
Oh my, how quickly the news spread (listen to what's being said!)
From Binondo, from the Plaza Binondo

Raise, raise, raise
The glass, wine and tuba
If she can do it, I can do it
If I can do it, you can do it

Where were you when Rosang Taba laughed? (Rosang Taba!)
At Binondo, at Plaza Binondo
Oh, oh, oh! And only we joined in the laughter (they couldn't say a thing!)
At Binondo, at Plaza Binondo

If she can do it, I can do it
If I can do it, you can do it
