@irmamar, I'm glad to see that you're using Tagalog.
@benjostoked, I'll be glad to read about what you think. Nagsimula ka bang mag-aral ng Espanyol habang nasa Pilipinas ka pa (Did you start learning Spanish while you were still in the Philippines)?

Paalam na muna sa ngayon(goodbye for now). If translated word for word: goodbye, in the meantime, for now.

Vita, I just repeat what you wrote.

¿Paalam = Adiós?

@irmamar, es bueno saber de ti, incluso si se trata de decir adiós(it's good to hear from you, even if it's saying goodbye.

[irmamar]

No, no decía adiós, sólo preguntaba.

Update on the Tagalog language: I've been told that the Tagalog alphabet has 26 plus letters now which includes the letters prensent in English and Spanish alphabets plus "ng", 28 letters in all. I'm happy about this reform since before, with only 20 letters in the Filipino Alphabet, you end up with people's names and places containing letters that are not on the alphabet.
