EN: clam
The star of your favorite Tinolang Halaan. These are the small, tasty clams you buy by the kilo sa palengke. Don't confuse them with tahong (mussels) or talaba (oysters). Halaan are the ones that make your soup taste like the sea, in a good way. They're the reason you sometimes get a bit of sand in your sabaw, but it's totally worth it.
Unknown, possibly a native Austronesian term.
Refers to various species of clams, often used in soups like Tinola.
