I’ve been hearing about these YouTube videos from so many people already. Most refer to it as Tonton and the 300. The series features several portions of the movie 300 and Troy dubbed in Ilonggo. Those who’ve watched it on YouTube say it’s really funny even if they don’t know what the people are talking about.

I’ve decided to translate one of the videos from Hiligaynon (or “Ilonggo”) to English. See video and translation after the break.

Some common terms frequently used in the dubbing:

part - shortcut for partner; friend; comrade.)
bord - (brod) slang/shortcut for brother

Don’t read the translation yet. Watch the video first. Then, watch it again while reading the translation.
