Tagalog term or phrase: Papunta sa trabaho 13 Ta's pauwi naman 13 pamasahi nang tricycles
Greetings
I asked the same lady how she gets to work. My question was, “Papunta sa trabaho 13 Ta's pauwi naman 13 pamasahi nang tricycles.”
Her reply was manifold:
Nag tricycles ako
Papunta sa trabaho 13 Ta's pauwi naman 13 pamasahi nang tricycles
I don’t understand the Ta’s or the 13 pamasahi.
But yes, she obviously comes to work by tricycle, that would seem to be certain.
Btw, her native language is the Bisayas spoken in Maasin, Leyte.
Best Wishes

The tricycle fare going to work is 13 then, to go home it is 13
Explanation:
Ta's is her abbreviation for the word "tapos" which in this usage means "after that" or "then"."Pamasahi" is the spelling she used for "pamasahe" which means "fare". Since she is Visayan, she pronounced the word as she spelled it.
