“Mababaw ang luha”

Bukas-palad

Very generous.

Kapag may tiyaga, may nilaga

Hard work and patience pay off.

Matigas ang ulo

Stubborn; doesn't listen.

Ang taong nagigipit, sa patalim kumakapit

Desperate people take desperate measures.

Butas ang bulsa

Broke; has no money.

Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makararating sa paroroonan

Never forget your roots.

Bahala na

Come what may; whatever happens, happens.

Bantay-salakay

Someone trusted who betrays that trust.
