Telling the Time
In telling the time by the clock, both the Tagalog and the Spanish terminologies are used, with the latter pre-dominating. Both terminologies are given below, the Spanish being spelled according to the Tagalog sound system. Where the time of the day (whether a.m. or p.m.) is not mentioned, the Spanish terminology is invariably used, especially in conversations, and the a.m. or the p.m. is omitted.
1:00 p.m. unang oras ng hapon
