Difference Marunong ang Alam?
Im having trouble mixing up marunong and alam. Both of them mean "know" right?

Alam ko- I know
Marunong Ako- I know How

Can someone explain when to use each one and what the difference is?

Answer

marunong is PHYSICAL ABILITY
alam is MENTAL ABILITY

Answer

I think you just answered your own question and way to go!

Alam - know
Alam ko ang pangalan mo.  (I know your name.)

Marunong - know how
Marunong akong mag-Tagalog / magsalita ng Tagalog. (I know how to speak Tagalog.)

You could even put them together:
Alam mo bang marunong si Rudel magTagalog? (Did you know that Rudel knows how to speak Tagalog?)

I hope that helped.

Answer

"Marunong" means you know HOW to do a particular skill.

Example: 
1. Marunong ako maglaro ng tabletennis. (I KNOW HOW to play tabletennis.)
2. Ako ay marunong magbasa ng Korean. (I KNOW HOW to read Korean.)

"Alam" mean you KNOW what a particular subject or thing is.

Example:
1. Alam kong may ginawa kang mali. (I KNOW you did something wrong.)
2. Bakit alam mo na gusto ko si JJ? (Why do you KNOW I like JJ?)

You are already right about it so just keep practicing. ^^
