The Tagalog days of the week are:

Sunday - Linggó (Domingo)
Monday - Lunes
Tuesday - Martés
Wednesday - Miyérkulés
Thursday - Huwebes
Friday - Biyernes
Saturday - Sábadó

Like in Indonesia, Linggó also means "week". The days are taken from
Spanish.

Months are:

January - Enero
February - Pebrero
March - Marso
April - Abríl
May - Mayo
June - Hunyo
July - Hulyo
August - Agosto
September - Septiyembre (Setyembre)
November - Nobyembre
December - Disyembre

Like the days of the week, the months all come from Spanish. September has
an interesting occurance with the drop of the p. Year is "taón", BTW.
