pronunciation of "pasay"

hi, i'm from the philippines and i was wondering how native speakers would pronounce the word "pasay" (which is one of the cities here).

Thanks!

Without ever hearing or reading the name before, I would have no choice but to pronounce it like passe : /pae 'sei/. How do you really pronounce it?

Here, it's pronounced "PA-sie" (the first syllable contains the stress, the second one rhymes with die).
