This saying is popularized by a Philippines' national hero named "José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda or known as (Jose Rizal)" which means in English is "Not loving his/her language is more than an animal and a fish."

This saying is about an advice to a person for his/her journey of career, life, childhood, parents or friends for reaching his/her path which means in English is "The one who does not know how to look back to his/her past life will not reach the destination."

"Huwag kang magtiwala sa ‘di mo kakilala." This saying is popular in the Philippines because some of bad people used to trick a victim that they don't know to do bad things, sometimes they act like they know your relatives and be nice and kind to you, but deep inside they want to do bad things for their own needs which simply means in English is "Do not trust to strangers."

"Kapag maliit at makitid ang kumot matutong mamaluktot." This saying is a good example about life of a person who has not rich, because they need to survive in their situation by having patience in their lives while finding the solutions to succeed in life which means in English is "When the blanket is short, learn to bend."

"Kapag may tyaga may nilaga." This saying is about a hard work pays with a good result which means in English is "When there is perseverance there is stew."

"Kung ano ang itinanim ay siya rin ang aanihin." This saying is simply about "Karma" or in other words, if you do something to others, then it will back to you someday whether it is good or bad. This myth is commonly used by the older generation until now most of the people here in the Philippines believe in that saying which means in English is "What is sown is also reaping"

"Kapag may isinuksok, may madudukot." This saying is almost the same as what is mentioned earlier about "What is sown is also reaping" but it is about money savings. It simply defines that if you save money, then you can use it in the future, which means in English is "When someone is stabbed, someone is abducted."

"Ang batang malinis sa katawan, ay malayo sa karamdaman." This saying is about the immune system of a child that if he/she cleans herself/himself they will not easily get sick and reduces the risk of having a bad health which means in English is "A child who is clean in body, is far from sick."

"Ang tunay na karangalan ay nag-uumpisa sa paggalang sa mga magulang." This saying is all about respecting our parents is the first achievement of a children but sadly this is a problem to some children today in the Philippines because of the influence of the internet with a bad or malicious contents they will hear some words that are not applicable to their ages which means in English is "True honor begins with respect for parents."

And this some kind of sayings that usually used here in the Philippines with a good word and wisdoms to learn.
