When you are talking about money:

100 - isang daan << daan here is used as "hundreds"; do not confuse with another "daan" word which means road/street
500 - limang daan

1000 - isang libo <<< "libo" means thousands
2000 - dalawang libo

I heard from my Malaysian officemate that "kambing" in Malay and Filipino is the same (goat), can anyone confirm?

Yes Batty, words and names came from Spanish origins. Afterall, Philippines is under Spanish rule for 3 centuries (if my memory serves me right lol)

keep is coming guys, let me know if you want to know something especially when dealing with women in tagalog
