Mabuhay has several meanings in tagalog, it can be a greeting meaning good day or cheers when there are celebrations. It can also be a farewell remark meaning long live or to live. In this context, Maririn being an aussie just only said mabuhay. She used it as a greeting to Millie. A lot of foreigners use mabuhay as a basic tagalog greeting. But if filipinos greet fellow filipinos with mabuhay they'll only give you weird looks. We use kumusta it means hi or hello in tagalog instead
