For example: karwas = carwash; imbestigador = investigator
One of the local TV stations has now a new show called: WANSAPANATAYM. I haven’t watched the show yet, but it was advertised as one of their new shows.
To understand the Philippine people better and to make them laugh at foreigners it is advised to learn some of their complicated language.
In previous posts I wrote already how to learn some of the Tagalog language. Check them:

Recently I found more interesting sites to learn Tagalog. They have podcast sound fragments to learn how to pronounce it as well.

Theo,
unfortunately I cannot help you with that, but there must be websites where to find information about Visaya language.
