• Yakan: “Therefore this is already like my custom/behavior. Even though I want to do good it is as if there is something urging me to do bad and that’s what I do.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “This is always what happens to me; if I want to do good I am hindered by the evil desires in my body.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
