- Hiligaynon: “Alright, [you (plur.)] go-home and [you (plur.)] make-sure where he always goes and who has-seen him there, for I know that he (is) very good at scheming.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Go back and find out more about him. Find out exactly where he is staying, and find out who has seen him there. People tell me that he is very clever, so we need to be clever also to be able to capture him.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
