| Bukaspending review | Bukas | TomorrowIlocano builds tomorrow out of 'bigat', the word for morning — the same root as in 'Naimbag a bigat'. |
| Napunpending review | Kahapon | Yesterday |
| Aldopending review | Araw | DayIn the Visayan languages 'adlaw' is both the day and the sun. Tagalog keeps the same double meaning in 'araw'; Ilocano does not — 'aldaw' is the day and 'init' is the sun. |
| Bengipending review | Gabi | Night |
| Dominggopending review | Linggo | Week |
| Banwapending review | Taon | Year |

| Miyerkulespending review | Miyerkules | Wednesday |
| Huwebespending review | Huwebes | Thursday |
| Biyernespending review | Biyernes | Friday |

| Dominggopending review | Linggo | SundayTagalog is the outlier: 'Linggo' where the rest kept 'Domingo'. Pangasinan went further and uses 'Simba', from the word for churchgoing — the same root Tagalog uses for the verb 'to attend mass'. |
| Abakpending review | Umaga | Morning |
| Oraspending review | Oras | Hour |
