For me, it depends. I usually say "okay", "sige" or "sige, sige". But when I'm pissed, I'd say "Oo na" sternly. Or none at all, when I'm being snobbish. :O

If the person who asked the question is older, you can say, "opo pagbubutihin ko" or opo pagbubutihin ko po or else sisikapin ko po.

An advice or suggestion like that would be expected to come from someone senior to the advisee. A simple "opo" would suffice. You may also say, "OK, po" or "opo, salamat po". If you'd like to put more feeling into it, you may say, "opo, makaka-asa po kayo" (yes, sir/madam, you can depend on that).
