NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

Polo baróng is a short-sleeved version of the traditional barong Tagalog. The barong Tagalog is a long-sleeved, usually embroidered dress shirt worn on formal occasions; traditionally it is white, although some are now also available in pastel colors. These shirts are worn over pants and without a tie.

Burdadong is burdado (“embroidered”) plus -ng linker.

Isukat ko means “tryon by me.” Maaari bang isukat ko ang kulay asul? literally is “Can the blue color be tried on by me?”
