I asked my neighbor to translate it. She said, it means something like this:

May I please know what your cellular phone number is, so that i could use it to keep in touch with you?

The message was not only written in Tagalog. It was written in Tagalog mobile phone slang.

The meanings given by a previous respondent are correct.

"pwde ko ba malaman ano cp num m. para mg mit dn tau"

Tagalog: Pwede ko ba malaman ano cellphone number mo? Para mag-meet din tayo

English translation: Can (or Could) I have your cellphone number? So we could meet.

There is often no clear-cut way of translating Tagalog to Filipino. The syntax is different and the use of nouns, pronouns, verbs, etc. are subject to different rules as compared to the english language.
