Wondering if this means anything in Binisaya...

Hello.  Some years ago, I heard the following:  "Isa untah".  I never knew what it meant, or what language it was, but it stuck with me.  (And I'm not absolutely sure of the spelling -- "untah" might be "unta".)
Just today (Saturday, October 30, 2010), I happened  to be reading on the Internet about the "Cebuano" language, and came across the fact that "isa", in Cebuano, can mean "one" or "raise".  What I remember of what I heard suggests to me that "isa", in the context of what I heard, meant "one".  But I cannot determine if "Isa untah" (or "Isa unta") might mean anything in Cebuano/Binisaya (or any other closely-related Filipino language, since it seems that what I heard was Filipino, apparently).
If anyone can offer any help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Basin kanang word nga "isa

Basin kanang word nga "isa unta" ang nagsulti ana not a Cebuano, it could be from Davao kay ang ilang sinulti-an kay saksak sinagol ang Tagalog og bisayan combined. Like this sentence nga 'Isa unta ka higayon nga ako pakit-on nga siya nagluib kanako'.. isa (tagalog) o usa (visayan). Mao ni akong pagsabot sa imong kalibug. Nanghinaot ko nga nakatabang kini sa imoha.
