The number one. Existential weight in Filipino: "ako lang" means I alone, just me. Numbers are regular and easy after one.
Regular from here. Three is tatlo, straightforward Tagalog counting. No weird tens rule like Danish; it stays predictable.
Continues smoothly. Filipinos do not stress over numbers; they will accept approximations and rounding up.
Prices are often said in English or Spanish numbers.
