  1. A

    Dok, ano po ang lumabas sa resulta ni Lolo?

    Doc, what did Lolo's results show?

  2. B

    Gout po ito, Mang Ponciano. Naipon ang uric acid sa kasukasuan ng hinlalaki ninyo sa paa.

    It's gout, Mang Ponciano. Uric acid has built up in the joint of your big toe.

  3. C

    Gout? E wala naman akong ginagawang mabigat, Dok.

    Gout? But I haven't been doing anything strenuous, Doc.

  4. B

    Hindi po sa trabaho, kundi sa kinain ninyo. Ilang araw po ba kayong kumain ng handa?

    It's not from work, it's from what you ate. How many days were you eating fiesta food?

  5. A

    Tatlong araw po, Dok. Lagi pa po siyang nasa tabi ng litson at dinuguan.

    Three days, Doc. And he was always right next to the lechon and the dinuguan.

  6. C

    Nasa huli talaga ang pagsisisi. Pero sa pista ng pinsan ko sa isang buwan, isang plato lang, Dok?

    Regret really does come last. But at my cousin's fiesta next month, just one plate, Doc?

  7. B

    Isang platito po, hindi plato, at walang dinuguan. Basta iinom po kayo ng gamot at maraming tubig.

    A saucer, not a plate, and no dinuguan. As long as you take your medicine and drink plenty of water.

  8. C

    Platito? Sige na nga, pero ako ang pipili ng platito, ha.

    A saucer? Fine, but I get to pick the saucer.
