Assalamu Alaikum Anak1, I have been reading some of the comments here, how some of the words are the same with Malay, Indonesia, and tagalog!!! They are right!!! I had an Indonesian friend, one day, she was counting her money, and I couldn't believed what I was hearing, she was counting like how we count in Maguindanaon!!! then we started comparing some of our languages (Maguindanaon) and hers. Looking back at it, then I realized that the Maguindanaon foods are quite the same as Indonesian/Malay

We also have some proto Austronesians in Indonesia. They are the Torajans in Sulawesi, the various Dayaks in Kalimantan, the various Bataks in Sumatra and the Badui in Java. Even if they are from different islands they have many similarities that other ethnic groups don't have.

from where I come from (Bohol) the way we say it is "Buaja" but I guess most dialects still refer to crocodile as "buaya"

add to that,
fil: pasok = masuk (malay)
fil: lalaki = lelaki (malay)
fil: kuting = kucing (malay)
fil: laot = laut (malay)
and many more. We all belong to the same Malay stock, but we Filipinos sadly absorbed western culture rather easily that we somehow lost a big part of our true identity.

yeah that's true....even certain words in tagalog have the same meaning with my tribes kadazan+rungus...

yes, you'll see that linguistic pattern emerge among the Malay languages. consider this:
filipino: buaja = Buaya (Indonesian)
filipino: hangin = angin (Indonesian)
filipino: bawang = bawang putih (malay)
so you see, we're all family. =)
