Do you know the equivalent expression of 'Nasabi ko, nasira ko, nasulatan ko in English?
All expressions with verb that starts from a prefix-'na'.
It is somewhat something done in the past.
Are they fall under present perfect tenses?
I think present perfect is more on 'Nag+root word'

actually, yes... the prefix "na" in our language describes the present perfect tense in english.
'nasabi ko' - "I have said" / "I have told"
'nasira ko' - "I have destroyed" / "I have ruined"
'nasulatan ko' - "I have written"
in contrast, we sometimes express "na" to mean 'unintentionally' or 'accidentally'.
e.g. "nawala ko 'yung pera!" = 'I have lost the money!' / 'I unintentionally lost the money!'
compare: "nabanga ko 'yung tao!" vs. "binanga ko 'yung tao!"

Someone told me that the attitude of the speaker has no effect.
