Basic Filipino Phrases to Use When Travelling to the Philippines

English to Tagalog Translations

Note:  There are many interesting places to see in the Philippines. Manila is the capital city. The roads are narrow and because it is a very populated area, you expect heavy traffic and lots of people walk close to the roads. Outside Manila, traffic is not too bad but many places are still not using the traffic light system.
