This uses the original SubsPlease track as a base, but is not necessarily an English-to-Tagalog secondary translation. Some Japanese words and phrases usually translate better to other Asian languages like Tagalog than English so I tried doing it that way whenever possible.

I intentionally opted to native equivalents on terms still in usage in Modern Tagalog but are commonly in Spanish or English loanwords on everyday conversations:

university = unibersidad / pamantasan proof = pruweba / patunay Vice-Captain = Bise-Kapitan investigation = imbestigasyon / pagsisiyasat bus - bus comics - komiks

I opted to local honorifics for similar reasons. Asian languages like Tagalog actually are rich in honorifics, with which most are still used today:

Christina-sama = Binibining Christina Alfred-sama = Ginoong Alfred Sir = Ginoo

However, I left the Spanish loanwords where they make much more sense and where there is either no local equivalent or no practical way to translate them further:

lilac = lila knight = kabalyero castle = kastilyo Royal Academy = Real Academia (Medieval institutions had been and can still be referred to in Spanish)
