  1. A

    Ma'am, sila po ba ang replacement donors ninyo? Pakisulat po ang pangalan nila rito.

    Ma'am, are these your replacement donors? Please write their names here.

  2. B

    Opo, si Brix po, barkada ng anak ko, at si Tony, kapitbahay namin. Dalawang bag pa po ang kulang.

    Yes, this is Brix, my son's friend, and Tony, our neighbor. We still need two more bags.

  3. A

    Sige po. Brix, ikaw muna. Ano'ng type mo?

    All right. Brix, you first. What's your type?

  4. C

    Type ko po? 'Yung mabait po, Ma'am, at marunong magluto ng sinigang.

    My type? Someone kind, Ma'am, who knows how to cook sinigang.

  5. A

    Blood type, iho, hindi crush. B positive ka? E 'di be positive ka lang, parang kagat lang ng langgam.

    Blood type, iho, not your dating type. You're B positive? Then just be positive, it's like an ant bite.

  6. B

    Tony, Type O ka, 'di ba? O, ano pa ang hinihintay mo? Upo na!

    Tony, you're Type O, right? Oh, so what are you waiting for? Sit down!

  7. D

    Teka, Kim, nanginginig pa ako. Ma'am, totoo po bang universal donor ang Type O?

    Hold on, Kim, I'm still shaking. Ma'am, is it true Type O is the universal donor?

  8. A

    Lalo na po kung negative. Pero, Sir, 170 over 105 po ang BP ninyo. Deferred po muna kayo ngayon.

    Especially if it's negative. But, Sir, your blood pressure is 170 over 105. You're deferred for today.

  9. D

    Ay, hala. Takot po kasi ako sa karayom. Kim, pasensiya na, hindi ko sinasadya.

    Oh no. It's because I'm scared of needles. Kim, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this.

  10. B

    Hindi mo kasalanan 'yan, Tony. Ma'am, bago po magtanghali, may dala na po akong isa pa.

    It's not your fault, Tony. Ma'am, before noon, I'll bring you one more.

  11. C

    Tita Kim, may kaklase po akong Type O rin, tatawagan ko na po. Be positive lang po tayo, Mang Tony!

    Tita Kim, I have a classmate who's Type O too, I'll call him now. Let's just be positive, Mang Tony!
