    si gh wala na namang magawa

    ano nga kaya ang tawag ng mga unang pilipino para sa bilang "0" bago dumating ang mga kastila?

    imagine, kung ang tagalog ng "0" is "itlog", paano mo sasabihin sa tagalog ang "zero in on that specific girl"? "itlogin ang babaeng iyon, o mangitlog sa babaeng iyon"
