Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Is it beautiful?"

Camille: (SLOW) Maganda ba? (REGULAR) Maganda ba?
Eric: Then comes the phrase - "Please comment.."
Camille: Paki-comment.
Eric: Since some words used in social media are in the English language, Filipinos often borrow these words and use them in the context of Filipino grammar. You can find a lot of English words combined with Filipino words in social media. Listen again- "Please comment." is...
Camille: (SLOW) Paki-comment. (REGULAR) Paki-comment.
Eric: All together, "Is it beautiful? Please comment."
Camille: Maganda ba? Paki-comment.
