INTRODUCTION

Becky: Hi everyone, and welcome back to FilipinoPod101.com. I'm Becky.
Jay: And I'm Jay!
Becky: This is Must-Know Filipino Slang Words and Phrases, Season 1, Lesson 16. In this lesson you'll learn expressions describing apathy. When you're apathetic about the situation, these slang terms will express that apathy.

Becky: Jay, what's our first expression?
