A
Aling Yolly, pasensiya na po sa ingay kagabi. Pancit po, pambawi.
Aling Yolly, sorry about the noise last night. Here's some pancit to make up for it.
-
B
Uy, salamat! Ang saya ninyo kagabi, ha.
Oh, thank you! You all sure were having fun last night.

A
Kung alam ko lang po na maaga ang duty ninyo, hininaan ko sana.
If only I'd known you had an early shift, I would have turned it down.

B
Hindi naman 'yung ingay ang problema, e. Hindi mo man lang ako niyayang kumanta!
The noise isn't really the problem. You didn't even ask me to sing!
-
A
Talaga po? Kumakanta po pala kayo?
Really? So you sing?
-
B
Siyempre! Sana tinawag mo na lang ako, may piyesa pa naman ako.
Of course! You should have just called me over. I even have a go-to song.
