Dialog in Filipino (JUNE 2024):
N: Tuloy kayo, Cindy, Mabuti at hindi kayo naligaw sa pagpunta rito.
C: Madali naming nakita ang bahay ninyo. Malapit lang sa gate at itinuro ng guwardiya ang daan.
N: Ilan ba ang mga kasama mo?
C: Lima sila — pamangkin ko at dalawa niyang anak, tsuper namin at isang alila.
N: Cindy, hindi na alila ang tawag sa kanila ngayon dahil sa Rep. Act 10361 noong 2013.
C; Ganoon ba? Matagal na kasi akong hindi nakauwi kaya hindi ko alam. Ano na ang tawag sa kanila ngayon?
N: Kasambahay.  Sabi ni Sen. Bong Revilla, masyado raw isip kolonyal at nakakababang tingin ang alila, atsay, tsimay, muchaho at iba pa.
C: Oo nga.
N: May mga batas na rin tungkol sa suweldo at araw ng pahinga nila.
C: Mabuti naman.
N: O, heto na ang buko juice. Salamat, Charo!
C: Ang tangkad at ang ganda naman ng kasambahay ninyo. Parang modelo!
N: Hindi! Anak siya ng kapitbahay namin. Kalaro ng pamangkin ko sa basketball. Sa bakuran nila galing ang buko!
C: Ahh, kanila pala yung bahay sa harap ninyo na maraming puno ng buko!
N: Kakaiba ang disenyo ng bahay nila ... gawa sa bao ng niyog ang dingding, at ang bubong ay mga pinatuyong dahon!
C: Napansin ko nga, Kahanga-hanga ang disenyo ng kanilang bahay -buko!!!

Dialog in English (JUNE 2024):
N; Come in, Cindy! It’s good that you didn’t lose your way coming here.
C: We found your house easily! It’s near the gate and the guard showed us the way.
N: How many are with you?
C: They’re five of them… my niece and her two children, our driver and a servant.
N: Cindy, they are no longer called “servants” because of Republic Act 10361.
C: Is that so?  I haven’t gone home for a long time so I didn’t know. How do you call them now?
N:  House helper or housemaid. Sen. Bong Revilla said that it’s too colonial minded and degrading to use the terms “alila, atsay, chimay and muchacho “
C: That’s true.
N: There are also laws about their wages and day off.
C: That’s good.
N: Here’s your buko juice. Thanks, Charo!
C: Your house helper is tall and beautiful! She looks like a model!
N: No! She’s the daughter of our neighbor. My niece plays basketball with her. The coconuts are from their yard.
C: So the house with many coconut trees in front of yours is theirs!
N: The design of their house is unique. The walls are made from the shell of coconut husks and the roof from dried coconut leaves.
C; I noticed! The design of their coconut house is great!
