  1. A

    Simple lang ang pasalo: ibalik ninyo ang naihulog ko, tapos kayo na ang maghuhulog.

    A pasalo is simple: you pay me back what I've paid in, then you take over the payments.

  2. B

    Sir, kanino po nakapangalan ang loan? At kanino po mapupunta ang titulo?

    Sir, whose name is the loan in? And who gets the title?

  3. C

    Love, ang ganda ng view. Saan pa tayo makakakita ng ganitong presyo?

    Love, look at that view. Where else are we going to find a price like this?

  4. A

    Sa akin pa rin, pero huwag kayong mag-alala. Isang chat lang ako kahit nasa Canada.

    It's still in my name, but don't worry. Even in Canada, I'm just a chat away.

  5. B

    Sa madaling salita po, kung hindi dadaan sa bangko, sa inyo pa rin ang utang, at wala kaming karapatan sa unit.

    In short, if this doesn't go through the bank, the debt stays in your name, and we have no rights to the unit.

  6. C

    Ibig sabihin, kahit kumpleto ang hulog natin, hindi pa rin atin 'to?

    So even if we make every payment, it still won't be ours?

  7. A

    Ayokong umalis ng bansa nang may nakabiting usapan. Ano'ng kailangan sa akin ng bangko?

    I don't want to leave the country with anything hanging. What does the bank need from me?

  8. B

    Loan assumption po: pirma ninyo, at kami ang dadaan sa credit investigation. Love, ihanda mo ang payslip mo.

    A loan assumption: your signature, and we go through the credit investigation. Love, get your payslips ready.
