  • Tagbanwa: “But well, the one being asked from answers there inside the house. He says, ‘Don’t bother me now, for I have bolted the door, and I and my children are lying down already. Well it’s not possible/acceptable for me to get up again and give to you what you need.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
