Cora, napansin na ng hepe natin ang pagtitinda mo ng longganisa.
Cora, our chief has noticed you selling longganisa.

B
E ano naman? Siya pa nga ang umoorder sa akin.
So what? He orders from me himself.

A
Kahit na. May memo na tungkol sa pagtitinda sa oras ng trabaho, kaya puwede kang masuspinde.
Even so. There's a memo now about selling during working hours, so you could get suspended.

Alam mo namang pang-tuition ni Junjun 'yon. Hindi kasya ang suweldo ko.
You know that pays for Junjun's tuition. My salary isn't enough.

Alam ko, kaya naman ayokong masuspinde ka. Sa tanghalian ka na lang magbenta.
I know, and that's exactly why I don't want you suspended. Just sell at lunchtime.

Okay. Pero pakisabi sa hepe, may utang pa siyang dalawang pack sa akin.
Okay. But please tell the chief he still owes me for two packs.
