  1. A

    Pa, sinabi po ng manager namin na tataas nang dalawang piso ang diesel sa Martes.

    Dad, our manager said diesel is going up by two pesos on Tuesday.

  2. B

    E 'di magpapa-full tank ako sa Lunes, bago bumiyahe.

    Then I'll fill up the tank on Monday, before my first trip.

  3. A

    Sa amin po, dalawang oras ang pila kapag ganyan.

    At our station, the line takes two hours when that happens.

  4. B

    Ayos lang. Sulit naman ang matitipid ko.

    That's fine. What I save will be worth it.

  5. A

    Sixty liters po, tigdalawang piso, one-twenty lang. E ang isang biyahe po ninyo, mahigit isang libo ang kita.

    Sixty liters at two pesos a liter is only one-twenty. And one trip brings you over a thousand.

  6. B

    Aba, oo nga. Sige, hindi na ako pipila.

    Hey, you're right. Okay, I won't bother lining up.
