FIL: Isang uri ng isdang-dagat na karaniwang kinakain sa Pilipinas, kilala bilang 'pagkain ng masa' dahil sa dati nitong mababang presyo.
EN: Mackerel scad
The national fish of the Philippines, not by law, but by popular vote in every palengke and dining table. It's the fish you eat when it's 'petsa de peligro' but still tastes like a million bucks when fried to a crisp. The OG 'GG', its price is now an unofficial indicator of the country's economic health.
Often called 'GG' for short. Its market price is frequently cited in the news as an informal economic indicator for the common Filipino.
