Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

Must be a Malayo-Polynesian language or something
It sounds very Spanish to me (I heard “yo”) but I also wonder if it isn’t of Polynesian origin because I also thought I heard Matua which I think is “God” in many Polynesian languages.
I think it’s an Indonesian language. I think that’s “tua” (old), and I heard “sepatu” (shoes) and “sampe” (until). But I can’t make a guess closer than that.
The answer is Mongondow (Bolaang Mongondow), a Philippine language spoken in the North Sulawesi region of Indonesia.
