That's certain. And if I'm some kind of a package or a kidnapped then, I'm pretty sure my father's men are coming for me. "Do you speak tagalowg?" I asked again and surprisingly he looked at me. "It's a Philippine language." I added. I was waiting for him to answer me but he remained quiet. "I think you're gwapow." I said. When I looked at him, I'm not sure, but I think he's frowning. "Gwapow pero masowngit." I smiled.

At sa accent nito ay inisip niyang English lang ang salitang alam nito gamitin. “Marunong ako mag-Tagalog syempre…” Napahagikhik si Raffy. “Tagalog kami mag-usap lagi nina Mommy at Daddy.” Nilingon niya ang mga magulang na magkasayaw. “And I grew up in the Philippines with all the people who took care of me were all Filipinos.”

Ngumiti si Ethaniel, malamig at matapang, “Ethaniel Manzano.” Napasinghap ang tatlo. Sa buong Bicol, sino ang hindi nakakakilala sa pangalang ‘yon? Presidente ng Manzano Group, pinakamakapangyarihan sa buong siyudad. Tahimik, mailap sa media, pero ngayon, kaharap nila, bata, guwapo, at makapangyarihan. Namula lalo si Giselle. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso. Ito na ang pagkakataon ko... Akala niya ako ang babae kagabi, edi ako na nga!

Kung nakita ito ni Eliana, alam na niya ang katotohanan. Tinawag kong muli si Ethan sa huling pagkakataon. “Tawagan ang mga taong kasama niya, ipasabi mo ang kanilang lokasyon.” Kung mas maaga kong maipaliliwanag at maipauunawa sa kanya, mas puring-puring mabuti. Isinagawa ni Ethan ang tawag. Ang kanyang ekspresyon ay nagsabi sa akin ng alam ko na pakshet na mangyayari.

I have no heart to decline her request. Mommy raised us so close to each other. We're familiar with Filipino customs because of Mom. We know the Filipino language as our nannies were Filipinos. Even though Mom's been here in California for a long time, she still speaks Tagalog, and that's how she talks to Carly and me, mostly when she scolds and reprimands us. We can understand Tagalog, the leading Filipino language, but Carly and I couldn't speak it without sounding stupid because of our accents.

Sabi pa ng nagmamaneho. The driver drove and got us off from the barge and now driving through a normal road, much to my ease. There were a lot of tarpaulins and ads placed on the streets as we drove by, some welcoming the tourists, and some selling vacant resorts. We took a sharp turn to the left, at napansin kong nasa probinsya na kami. "Don't worry, Sir and Maam, the people in this city are basically English speaking mixed Cebuano, another language in the Philippines. But, be careful, not all of them can speak English. Just the majority or so." The driver said.

pagpuna ni Girly sa pananalita ni Enrico. "Ah, it's just because ang mga kasama kong maids sa bahay at mga friends ko doon ay mga katulad ko rin namang pinoy. Tagalog talaga ang ginagamit naming language kapag nasa loob lang kami ng bahay. Kahit ang mga neighbors namin sa village ay halos may mga lahing pinoy. And they proud na mga pinoy din sila." Masayang nagpapaliwanag si Enrico kay Girly.

aniya bigla kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. “Sige nga, ano naman ‘yon?” I challenged him, sounding playful. “The Filipino language do not use gender-specific pronouns because ‘siya’, ‘niya’, and ‘kanya’ are used for both males and females.” “Hmm... alam ko na ‘yon, e,” I replied as I chuckled lightly.

"Royalty?" "Apparently noong nakaraan lang rin nalaman ni Catalina na mayroon silang dugong bughaw mula sa Espanya," it was Zero. "Her mother's last will was written in Latin language because tito Samuel asked for it and they settled here in the Philippines. 'Yon ang pinagkaabalahan ng magkakapatid nitong mga nakaraang araw." "She said her mom sacrificed herself..." Hugo said.

naiiling na tawa ni dad. "But in the Philippines in some other part or provinces, diba bawal din yan anak?" tanong ni mom. "Ahm yes mom, I think so, kasi Philippines had been invaded by other countries way back in the past that's why we were able to adopt diffirent culture and tradition of the other parties." I remember the Christian religion was came from spain and that is why there are some Americans and half Spanish that lived in the Philippines. "You really are a genius baby." natatawa at proud na anas ni mom.
