Cardinal Numbers


In conversation, the Tagalog and Spanish numbers are used differently! In telling time, date and in talking about money or prices, the Spanish is used. The Tagalog numbers are used in other occasions! English numbers may also be used. In monetary bills, the Tagalog numbers are used. However, when a Spanish number is used to indicate a monetary value without saying if it is 'Pesos' [Any denomination over 100 cents] or 'Sentimos' [cents]... it is normally the latter.
