    Change scene

    In a certain house near the church


    Mean while theres a priest eating a sumptuous meal and then the door opened and a military Heneral came in and took seat in the table.


    Heneral : Magandang Gabi, Padre.


    Padre: Umupo ka.


    Padre: may kakaibang ikinikilos ang mga indio…

    Padre : ang suspetsa, ay sumasali ang karamihan sa groupong Mason.

    Padre: Hindi ko ito gusto…


    Heneral : Nakatitiyak ka ba sa impormasyon mo, Padre?


    Padre : Ikaw dapat ang sumagot niyan, Heneral Blanco.

    Padre : Ang simbahan ang siyng nagpapanatiling maayos sa kolonyang ito.

    Padre : Sa higit tatlong daang taon, napanatili ng simbahan ang kapayapaan at pakikitungo ng mga Kastila at ng mga Indio.


    Heneral Blanco : Ang pagkakaintindi ko Padre, ang mga peninsulares ang nag simula ng mga Mason dito.

    Heneral Blanco : Sa tingin ko habang sila ay kasali at numumuno, wala tayong dapat ikabahala.


    Padre : Ikaw ang bahala…

    Padre : Ikaw ang Gobernador - Heneral…

    Padre : Binigyan na kita ng babala.

    Padre : Wag ka sanang maunahan ng mga Indio.

    〔CHANGES: Changing Heneral to General, Capitalizing Indio and Peninsulares as those are nouns〕

    Change scene
    In a certain house near the church
    Mean while there's a priest eating a sumptuous meal and then the door opened and a military General came in and took seat in the table.

    General :Good evening, Father.

    Father: Take a seat.

    Father: The Indios are making some suspicious moves.

    Father : And our suspicion is that many of them had joined with the Mason group.

    Father: I don't like what's happening here.

    General : Are you sure of those informations, Father?

    Father : You're the one who should be answering that, General Blanco.

    Father : The church is the one who maintains the peace on the colony.

    Father : From the past three hundreds years, the church had maintained the peace and the treatment of the Spaniards toward those Indio.

    General Blanco : Father, from what I have been hearing, the Peninsulares are the one who established Mason here.

    General Blanco : From what I can see, we don't have to worry about anything while they are the ones who is a part of it and are leading it.

    Father : I leave it up to your judgment...

    Father : You are the Governor-General...

    Father : But heed my warning.

    Father : Don't let those Indios get a head start of you.
    Is this quality enough for you? Well I'm just trying my hand on this.

    Well I can help you from time to time, and if I'm doing Ch.2 it will be slow as I'm currently on a quest to search for the legendary treasure(JOB) and defeat the Demon King(being Jobless). So you still want help even if it's slow?

    General Blanco: In my understanding Father, it's the peninsular who started the Masons here.

    Heneral Blanco : Sa tingin ko habang sila ay kasali at numumuno, wala tayong dapat ikabahala.
    General Blanco: In my perspective as long as they are joined and are leading, there's nothing for us to worry about.

    Padre : Ikaw ang bahala…
    Father: It's up to you...

    Padre : Ikaw ang Gobernador - Heneral…
    Father: You are the Governor — General...

    Padre : Binigyan na kita ng babala.
    Father: I've already given you a warning.

    Padre : Wag ka sanang maunahan ng mga Indio.
    Father: I hope the Indians won't get ahead of you.
    Here's my translation of that piece.

    Indio does not equates to Indians, Indio was a term used by the Spaniards to call Filipinos while also belittling them in the Spanish Colonial Era. It is similar to when African people were called Blacks by the white Americans.

    Indio is not indians...
    "Indio" is a Spanish colonial racial term for the natives born in Philippines.

    It was like an insult to us which is an equivalent of the meaning of idiot.

    You would be confused as many terms in this story has similar wording but different meaning. I known this because the setting is at the Spanish colonization era of my country, and if I were from a different country then I wouldhave done the same as you.

    Translating Filipino is easy as it's literally the same as English.

    Depends.
