“luha ng buwaya”

ubos-biyaya

squandering one's blessings, spending recklessly

isang bagsak

all together, one for all (a cheer)

ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit sa hayop at malansang isda

whoever doesn't love their own language is worse than beasts and foul fish

takot sa sariling anino

afraid of one's own shadow

kapit sa patalim

to resort to desperate means

nasa ilalim ng saya

henpecked (under the skirt)

walang mahirap na gawa kung dinadaan sa tiyaga

no task is hard with patience

nasa huli ang pagsisisi

regret comes too late
