Conyo here, conyo there, conyo everywhere! Here at La Salle, conyospeak has become an unofficial language as a good chunk of the student body knows, or maybe even mastered the socialite tongue. However, one must never forget the basics of the conyo and we thusly bring you:

The Ten Conyomandments.

1.  Thou shall make gamit "make+pandiwa".

      "Come on na, we can't make hintay anymore! It's in Andrew pa, you know?"

2. Thou shall make kalat "noh", "diba" and "eh" in your pangungusap.
ex. "I don't like to make lakad in the baha nga, no? Eh diba it's like, so eew, diba?"
      "What ba: stop nga being maarte noh?"
      "Eh as if you want naman also, diba?"

3. When making describe a whatever, always say "It's SO pang-uri!"

4. When you are lalaki, make parang punctuation "dude", 'tsong" or "pare"
