  1. A

    Mahal, aalis na ako. Nasaan na 'yung kapote ko?

    Hon, I'm heading out. Where's my raincoat?

  2. B

    Nasa bag mo na, kasama ng dry bag para sa cellphone mo.

    It's already in your bag, with the dry bag for your phone.

  3. A

    Sakto. Kapag ganitong umuulan, dagsa ang order.

    Perfect. When it rains like this, the orders pour in.

  4. B

    Kung sakaling bumaha sa ruta mo, huwag mo nang ituloy. Kung sakali namang ma-lowbat ka, makitawag ka sa kahit anong tindahan.

    If your route floods, don't push on. And if your phone dies, ask to use the phone at any store.

  5. A

    Yes, boss. May powerbank pa ako, fully charged.

    Yes, boss. I've got a power bank too, fully charged.

  6. B

    Isa pa. Ipangako mong uuwi ka kapag hanggang tuhod na ang baha, kahit may order ka pa.

    One more thing. Promise me you'll come home once the water's knee-deep, even if you still have an order.

  7. A

    Pangako. Basta may mainit na sabaw pagdating ko, ha?

    I promise. As long as there's hot soup waiting when I get home, okay?
