Naga in this comic means dragons/serpent/all kinds of reptiles. Bulan (moon) and Sang (The..) is spelled the same in both Tagalog and Indonesian since both share similar Austronesian language.

The Bakunawa, also spelled BakonawaBaconaua, or Bakonaua, is a dragon in Philippine mythology that is often represented as a gigantic sea serpent. It is believed to be the cause of eclipses.

There is a short Hiligaynon song in 3/4 time that children used to sing during lunar eclipses:

Ang bulan namon sang una, sang una
Our moon long ago, long ago

Guin ka-on sang bakunawa
Was eaten by the bakunawa

Malo-oy ka man, i-uli, i-uli
Please have pity, return it, return it

Korona sang amon hari.
The crown of our king.
