After a long wait, we’re back with, yes, you guessed it, another food-related lesson! Cris, Jov, and Mickey tackle a classic Pampangueno dish: sisig – a staple for almost every Filipino who drinks beer or hangs out in a grill. It’s delicious. It’s succulent. It’s pig’s head. And it’s making us hungry.
A: Gutom na ako!
B: Maghintay ka muna!
A: Bakit ang tagal?
B: Hindi pa luto yung sisig!
A: AAARGH! GUTOM NA AKO!
A:I’m hungry!!!

We head to the doctor’s office today, but as we shall find out, the hurt of this patient needs more than just medical care. It’s a hurt that’s deep, and it does not scar – and that’s the worst hurt that one can get. Mickey and Jovitt tackle the language. They’re joined in by Razi and Paulo who will introduce us to different body parts and how to say them in Filipino.
A: Saan masakit? Sa ulo ba? Sa tiyan?
B: Hindi po, doc. Sa puso.
A: Heart attack iyan!
B: Hindi po. Heartbreak.
A: Where does it hurt? In your head? Your stomach?
B: No, doctor. It’s my heart.
A: That’s a heart attack!
B: No, it’s heartbreak.

We’ve all been through a quarrel or a spat with a loved one. And we’ve always had our own techniques and tricks of patching things up. Now, it’s time to learn how to patch things up the Filipino way. Mickey and Jovitt teach the language, while Razi and Paulo join in for some insights on “tampo” and “lambing.”
A: Oh, nagtatampo ka na naman.
B: Ikaw kasi eh. Nangchichicks ka na naman.
A: Honeybabes, friends lang kami. Promise.
B: Talaga lang ha.
A: Hey, you’re mad at me again…
B: It’s your fault. You’ve been flirting with girls again.
A: Honeybabes, we’re just friends. Promise.
B: Really now…
