Ginga is a fresh water edible soft-shelled small snail mostly found in wet rice fields in Mountain Province. In recent observation, these snails are becoming extinct or now vanishing. Old folks says that the emergence of the fast growing (in numbers of) Golden Cohol in the area, is also the start of the decline of Ginga; According to them, the golden cohol invades and marries the little gingas so the gingas die.
