“nagmumurang kamyas”

kamay na bakal

iron fist, strict rule

Mababaw ang luha

Cries easily.

Bantay-salakay

Someone trusted who betrays that trust.

maikli ang pisi

short-tempered

Nagbibilang ng poste

Unemployed; has no job.

Ubos-ubos biyaya, bukas nakatunganga

Don't waste everything now; think of tomorrow.

bulaklakin ang dila

flowery speaker, exaggerating

isang kahig, isang tuka

living hand to mouth
