Talk:ang pagsasabi ng tapat ay pagsasama ng maluwat

RFC discussion: June 2016
This has references such as a link to an English-language children's story, a couple of articles on Chinese culture and language, and the name of a song on a Michael W. Smith album. The definition says: The etymology says:
 * 1) Cross-cultural equivalent: "all's well that ends well"
 * Literal translation: "To speak the truth is to stay together long for good."
 * Figurative parlance: "Frankness in speech makes for a more lasting friendship."

I don't speak Tagalog, but it's obvious that the phrase doesn't mean "all's well that ends well". I have no idea what is meant by a "Cross-cultural equivalent" (it's not explained in the entry), but I doubt that applies, either. The "etymology" reads more like a definition than the definition does. In fact, none of the elements of this entry have much to do with each other or with the phrase in question.

This isn't a dictionary entry, it's an assortment of odds and ends that have no real connection except in the mind of the contributor. I'm at a loss about what to do with it: the phrase does seem to be a real Tagalog saying, but I'm not sure it can be attested from online sources that meet CFI, and the entry is useless as it currently stands.
