  • Uma: “So, what do you go wanting to see? Perhaps you want to see a person whose clothes are beautiful? Of course not, because people whose clothes are beautiful and whose lives are rich/live richly, they are just in the houses of kings.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Na, what then did you want to see when you went? A person dressed in expensive clothes? The people dressing in expensive clothes and have a good/easy life live in the palaces.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Did you go out to see a person whose clothing was very beautiful? That is not it also because the people who wear beautiful clothing and whose livelihood is very good, they are only found in the palaces of kings.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Who then did you go to see? Was it a person wearing beautiful and expensive (clothes)? Of course not also, because those who wear (clothes) like that and whose lives are nice/good, it is in kings’ houses where they stay.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Well what did you really want to see there? A person whose clothes were the best? Of course not either, for those dressed in elaborate clothes and those who have-all-they-want of good food are of course only in the households of kings.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
