  1. A

    Kuya, ang ganda talaga ng PC mo. Sayang naman kung walang gagamit.

    Kuya, your PC is really nice. It'd be a shame if nobody used it.

  2. B

    Kailangan nga nito ng bagong may-ari. 'Yung maagang gumigising, para may kasama si Mama sa palengke.

    It does need a new owner. Someone who gets up early, so Mom has company at the market.

  3. A

    Alas-sais pa lang, gising na ako tuwing may pasok, a.

    I'm already up by six on school days, you know.

  4. B

    Malakas din 'yan sa kuryente, kaya ang may-ari ang mag-aasikaso ng mga bayarin ni Mama.

    It also eats a lot of electricity, so its owner takes care of Mom's bills.

  5. A

    Marunong ako sa GCash, Kuya. Ako pa nga ang nagturo kay Mama.

    I know how to use GCash, Kuya. I'm the one who taught Mom.

  6. B

    Kay Mama ko iiwan ang password. Sa kaniya mo hingin tuwing Sabado, pagkatapos ninyong mamalengke.

    I'm leaving the password with Mom. Ask her for it every Saturday, after the two of you go to the market.

  7. A

    Sabado lang? Sasamahan ko rin siya sa simbahan tuwing Linggo.

    Only Saturdays? I'll go to church with her on Sundays too.
