I think this site would be more reader-friendly if the words are arranged in particular classification. Like for instance, you may arrange the words according to parts of speech--that is, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, etc.

Or, it could also be arranged according to type--

like body parts: liver ('atay'), heart ('puso'), intestines ('bituka'), gall bladder ('apdo'), etc.;

color: red ('pula'), blue ('asul' or 'bughaw'), green ('berde' or 'lunti' or 'luntian'), etc;

shape: circle (bilog), square ('kuwadrado' or 'parisukat'), oval or oblong ('biluhaba), triangle ('tatsulok'), etc;

behavioral characteristics: kind ('mabait'), generous ('mapagbigay'), beautiful ('maganda'), pretty ('marikit'), greedy, usually in food context ('matakaw'), greedy, in non-food context ('madamot').

(Note: In my examples, I used the format--English ('Filipino' translation).

I could give you more traslations. I'll try to work on this.
