    since you know how to count from 1 to 9 ("isa" to "siyam"), just add a key word to these group of numbers:

    11-19 - "Labing" (labing isa...labing dalawa...labing siyam)
    20 - "dalawampo"
    21-29 - "dalawampo at" (dalawampo at isa...dalawampo at siyam)
    30 - "tatlompo"
    31-39 - "tatlompo at" .... (isa, dalawa...siyam)
    40 - "apatnapo"
    41-49 - "apatnapo at"....
    50 - "limampo"
    51-59 - "limampo at"
    60 - "animnapo"
    61-69 - "animnapo at" ...
    70 - "pitompo"
    71-79 - "pitompo at" ....
    80 - "walompo"
    81-89 - "walompo at"....
    90 - "siyamnapo"
    91-99 - "syamnapo at"....

    these 'number words' really are comprised of words combined together to form one word.

    e.g.

    "dalawampo" is a combined "dalawa na sampo (2x10)"; "siyamnapo" is "siyam na sampo (9x10)". I'm not certain though if "labing" is an etymology of "labi sa sampo (excess from 10)" - just a source from my grandma...

    Also, most of the time, "siyam (9) is pronounced and written as "syam".
