There are regional variations in neighboring provinces, but the Visayan ballad Condansoy or Kondansoy is primarily sung in Cebuano-speaking areas. This song is distinct from Dandansoy, another song from the Visayas. Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company is the recorded artist of this song and its date of release is 1962.

Condansoy, a boy, is urged to sip Laloy's tuba, a coconut wine, in this song. He sensibly declines. Hearing this song for the first time gave me a jolly feeling maybe because the video I saw was a group of children singing this song and it’s really catchy because the lyrics are very easy to understand, and by just reading the lyrics you get the idea of the song.

It is a Cebuano folk song that is so well-known among Tagalog speakers that it was included in a list of popular Filipino folk songs. A fisherman named Philemon is the subject of the song. He caught a tambasakan (mudskipper), sold it in a local market, and then used the proceeds to purchase tuba or coconut wine.

This song “Si Pilemon” is a hilarious song for me because it relates to so many Filipinos where your income or salary would be spent to buy alak (alcohol drinks). This song is very famous for its simplicity yet funny and meaningful lyrics.
