That is the uniqueness of Filipinos we are educated to respect, to care , to understand, to follow, easy to learn and adopt but not all have this kinds of traits... Because not all raised with good education and had a good environment... Anyway thanks for your praises and acknowledgement 😍 God Bless n take care always....
Even family members coming home the daily commute from work or any trip, it's a culture thing to always bring home a 'pasalubong'. It literally means 'something to welcome with'. 'Salubong' means 'to welcome somebody who came from a different place (any place)' it's hard to get a direct translation. 'Pa-' is a prefix that is used to indicate purpose. eg. 'Patawanin' or 'make someone laugh'. Prefix 'Pa-' , 'tawa' is laughter, suffix '-in' to indicate action.
Yea, I personally don't like it. Lalo na kung 2 hours late and they act like it's nothing. 😅😅😅 I love them pa rin naman. But mostly if I know that someone practices filipino time, if I need to meet with that person around 10am, I'll say 9am.
You can tell someone you would appreciate being on time esp if its a business meeting or you have another place to go after. If its a casual meet, u will know who comes early and who comes late. :)
I’m a Filipino that grew up in Chicago and when I went to the Philippines in my teens, I noticed that when I was watching TV, my cousins would put their hands and arms together, Bowing their heads when passing through my line of vision towards the TV as to not be rude while passing through my line of sight. Also when you’re talking with someone and another person wants to walk between you two they do the same thing. It’s like an “excuse me” thing haha love it.
Yes...it is not polite to just pass thru between persons or blocking a view when passing thru..so you just put down you arm in front of your body and bow a little and pass..you can say : excuse me or pardon passing thru..❤
Clicking is rude in the Philippines. Also for those people who “sitsit” saying pssssst out loud to call someone’s attention is also rude. It’s not rude among family members or among close friends, but usually when your parents does call you by “sitsit” it means you’re in trouble. Also doung the pssst is sometimes a way of catcalling.
...or in case of emergency, like when someone dropped something and you have to call their attention in the quickest way possible... that's acceptable 'psst'.. BUT i noticed it's no longer used by younger generations...
I think here in the Philippines clicking is like getting someone's attention who keeps on ignoring you even after calling their name, doing the "psssst" and hand waving. It's like the last resort but in a rude way.
I totally agree with the pasalubong. I used to bring some everyday for my younger sister even though I'm just going to school. I think it's seen as a way to show care and affection and that you thought of that person while you're away.
i highly recommend maybe try to speak Tagalog even gradually until it becomes fluent like this if you agree (diba magandang idea yon ?diba mga kapinoy ? ) translate Isn't that a good idea
I am from the U.S. we retired in the Philippines, I got a Tagalog course and did my best to learn and I am very bad at languages, well where we live is in Pangasinan where they really don't speak Tagalog, we have been here 10 years and I have lost everything I learned because no one speaks it. It is really sad, and I am mad cause I can't seem to learn Pangasinan, I understand a little and can say a few things. If there was just one language it would be so much easier!
i remember way back in 1969 when we first emigrated to the USA, i was blown away by how friendly Americans were. random strangers would smile at you and say, "hi." i was blown away, thinking, "do they know us?"
Western europe accent very romantic... english are so deep...so hard to understand.... but im inlove..😍😍 hoping 1 day traveling in some place like western europe...amzing beautiful country🙏🙏🙏
Raising your hand to get the attention of a waiter or waitress is not very different from raising your hand to get your teacher's attention in a classroom (which is customary in the Philippines and in many places around the world, I believe). It also helps if you accompany it with a smile. I think that matters. Snapping your fingers to call attention is definitely considered as unmannerly. As for 'Pssst', it is generally rude to call someone that way if he or she is a stranger or a non-acquaintance. It is typically reserved for a person you are already comfortable with (so go and 'Pssst' Mike and Nelly as much as you like :-)). Sometimes it is also done in jest rather than as a serious or formal way of calling someone, so there are these contextual nuances that come along with those Filipino habits that foreigners can eventually pick up. They are often misinterpreted when taken out of context. In fact, there is a context behind why Filipinos keep the 'plastic' wrappings on their new gadgets or devices. Most Filipinos cannot afford to regularly buy new things, so they try to keep their possessions in a pristine state as possible. It is laughable at times (e.g., a couch that has kept its wrapping for years!), but I like to see it in a positive light. Filipinos care for their belongings as much as they care for others. Filipinos also like to unplug their electrical appliances after use. That is because of the less than ideal state of electric service in the country. You get brownouts and possible electrical surges that can damage your appliances.
Snapping your finger when you try to call the attention of someone is not appropriate and it is unethical. Learning from my old folks, snapping your finger is used to call your dog accompanied by a sound to call the attention of your pet dog like "chuchuchu sound". That is what I learned and knew of.
I’m so OC about packaging materials, I need to get them all off!😄 Also things look better without plastic on them. I personally don’t know anyone who unplugs appliances, not even my great-grandparents nor my old-fashioned in-laws. Maybe it’s a regional thing🤷🏻♀️
The "Mano" - a sign of respect to our elders (e.g. Uncles/Aunties, Grand Parents or pretty much any elder you are cordially introduced) If not related to you but not yet an elder (e.g. older to you by 10 or 15 years) is labelled an Auntie or Uncle hehehe..
Saying "pssst" to a stranger is rude too. But it all goes down to the intention. You may have dropped somethinf from your pocket and a stranger may "pssst" you, he may just be saying "You have dropped something sir/ma'am." OR (another situation) "Pssst" can be used to catcall and many other rude ways.
That "psssst" only applies to close friends, it's like a surprising your friends or annoy them. I never see someone catching a stranger's attention by doing this, it's a rude thing to do.
Hi Lucy....Love seeing you wearing sweathjer with the West Philipine Sea on it, we Filipinos proud to see foreigner wearing that...Love you and we will love you both because yuo guys are realy nice....God Bless...
Ang hapon natuto na lang yan sa mga pinay na nag work sa Japan..Sa atin nila natutunan yan kahit ang mga Koreano ngayon natuto na rin sa atin regarding pasalubong...hehehe..
Pasalubong is a kind and caring way of showing love to the people you are giving. 🥰 I remember my mum always bring me pasalubong everytime she comes back from the market(food shopping). I tend to do it to my kids but I call it surprise now love the look on their faces 🥰🥰🥰
I'm Filipino, I peel the plastics off my gadgets and stuff. Seriously, that's what you do. YOU PEEL THEM OFF AFTER YOU UNPACK IT. But oh wait.. I realized my mattress is still covered in plastic, even after using it for five years.
We also cover our textbooks and notebooks in plastic and would remove the spiral metal that holds our notebook together and thread it with yarn. We do it so we can simply add to the notebook later. Each subjects you have to write notes as part of your grading assessment.
First of all, "West Philippine Sea" screams a geographical Fact. Second, Manila IS rising - especially with its new mayor. Third, the keeping of the plastic on stuff keeps the product always new and clean - at least from the outside. Fourth, calling someone "Pssst," to get their attention is, in my opinion, still rude - and I'm a Pinoy. And, fifth, gas station "fill up" employees are obligated to fill up vehicles. It's part of the job description. But those parking street guides are not official. They just do it to earn money, of course.
glad that you and your partner love everything about Philippines , its true with what you shared about common habits. The psst sound calling is so common and the mam and sir calling are also you'll hear all the time when you go out. Cheers guys keep making more videos! if you can make videos about Filipinos passion for singing , literally all household has a karaoke or guitar !
people are not usually shy about singing outside the shower. people love singing at family gathering, parties, chilling, malling and while doing house chores.
Yeah, going "Pssst!" aka, making "sitsit" to strangers is actually quite rude. You would only do that to someone you are really good friends with and it's like a joke. And yes, please don't click at people to get their attention. It's rude there too. Really enjoyed this topic though. I find it interesting that you guys LIKE Filipino time. It really frustrates me!
I hear “pssst” in the streets and crowded malls like an SM or Robinsons. Most people I know find it ill-mannered, kind of like putting a leg up at the dinner table or cutting in front of someone when getting on an escalator or staircase. RUDE.
Pointing with the lips - the length of the pointing lips is directly proportional to the distance to location. The farther the distance, the longer you'll see the lips point towards it.
“Pasalubong”... that is so typically Filipino !!!!!! - Here’s sharing my own experience . . . Last year, I went to visit a friend in the UK and brought a small memento for him. My friend found it quite unusual that I brought a gift.. and for a few times in our conversations after I had gone back home from that trip, .. he still kept on bringing up the topic of my “pasalubong” which he shyly referred to as ‘unnecessary’.. but for me, .. it was no big a-deal.. just a thoughtful act which I grew up with. After lots of explaining on my part about the Filipino custom called “pasalubong”, he finally understood and accepted the thought that went with my small token from my home. I was born in the Philippines and spent my growing up years there... I now live in the US but I have the wonderful Philippine pasalubong custom imbedded in me. . .
Definitely rude to click fingers just to get someone’s attention especially in restos. Love the the shirts and the accents 😉 Yes, my “pasalubongs” presents to my colleagues whenever I visit our Portsmouth office branch is always a hit 😄
Almost everything is relatively expensive in the Phil. and so people keep the coverings longer. My English brother in law is so cheap that will put Ilocanos to shame but I understand him bec. I admit I am cheap/frugal myself.
The most I love and funny you adopt a Filipino habit it was you show where is the place your looking and then replied you pointing their mouth that's cool hahahaha.Thank you and you are both sweet couple.Keep safe and God bless you.
BGC had Tricycles before, electronic Tricycles they have stopped using it though. It's color is orange green blue. I think that was like around 2009 when there are less building and people.
Yes, and this vestige is now pass on to some sectors in Philippine society who claims and believe they are person in authority and feel elated if you call them sir/maam.
This explains why my Filipino boyfriend keeps plastic on things, keeps tags on rugs, plants, things, he even keeps the corner pieces on canvas pictures on the wall for a month until he’s 100% sure he wants it. I thought that was a “him” thing but am now understanding it’s a cultural thing! (We are both expats in USA - he’s from the Phillipines and I’m from England), and your videos help us understand each other hahaha! Thank you 😂❤️👌👍🤗
The "Filipino Time" is so annoying..when meeting friends or school mates id be the earliest one in some meeting place and its so awkward when Im alone sitting in a bench somewhere 30 minutes or so....even though it's still acceptable, I still dont like being late personally
I'm learning a lot from you guys.... the things not to do here in UK... (actions that might have different interpretation) - Filipino currently working here in Southwest, England....
I actually didn't realize we were doing some of these things, haha! No.1 is so funny, lol - I guess we want the items to last as long as they possibly can, especially the ones we've worked so hard for because we're very sentimental people too No.2. Attendance (Attending to other people's needs) - I guess this is one of the things that trained us to help or to be of service to other people(?) (Aside from the "Bayanihan" concept Spoon & Fork - We love to eat! So I guess we have these eating habits for practicality's sake. We use spoon-fork more often because we eat rice a lot so it's only practically to use the same utensil for other food as well, including meats/steaks (except maybe when we're in super-formal dining settings, then that's when we'd use the steak knife) Also a note on using our hands when eating, it's a habit that I think most Filipinos remember/learn in childhood/ when childrearing. Mothers are able to connect more with their little ones when the moms feed their kids directly from their own hand. It's one of the best ways to bond (food + skin (hand to lips) contact) Pointing with our lips - We actually don't realize it when we're doing it, lol! (much like the Indian nod). I guess it's because we love to multi-task and we're pretty expressive with our mouths (chatting/singing/eating) so we use it as well when pointing things, lol. Now that I realize it, it kinda looks like we're asking for a kiss though, haha!
Sir or Mam because Filipinos are very respectful. It's done in many Asian countries because respect is very important. The plastic is dependent on the Filipino.
In the UK you only get addressed as SIR if you are knighted by the Queen . In the Philippines everyone is Knighted.
Hahaha... yes, as a gesture of respect... in our culture, only older people can call younger ones by first name, and also between friends.
Cereal killer - i totally agree
@@TheGOODNEWSfromHeaven Exactly ...
they are respectful, and have amazing grace so many have in John chapter 3 reborn.
Thats how we respect each other.. it a sign also of equality despite differences in status, race etc..
When I first came to PH at a restaurant and I did the South African (British/Western) gesture for the bill, they gave me a pen.
HAHAHAHAHA I don't know why but this comment made me laugh though 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂😁👍
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
YEP! that signals for a ballpen...
Made my day!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never thought "Filipino Time" would be a convenience for you guys. It is sort of a bad habit if not handled properly here in the Philippines.

When I was in my elementary our teacher taught as to do it our of respect to others who are talking each when you pass as a good manners too.
Yes that's how Filipino respect.

...or in case of emergency, like when someone dropped something and you have to call their attention in the quickest way possible... that's acceptable 'psst'.. BUT i noticed it's no longer used by younger generations...
With “pssst”, no one really knows that it’s them being called. It’s like calling everyone’s attention. Might as well call that person by their name.
@@m.p.r.6999 same...
Actually clicking to get someone's attention is also kind of rude here in the Philippines.
We thought so :)
I think here in the Philippines clicking is like getting someone's attention who keeps on ignoring you even after calling their name, doing the "psssst" and hand waving. It's like the last resort but in a rude way.
In the State of New Jersey here in the US, you can’t gas up your car yourself, an attendant has to do it for you. It’s the law in NJ.
Hand waving to get someone’s attention is rude in the Philippines?
Raising your hand is better, than waving it.
Whenever Filipinos go to the mall we tend to buy something for our family members at home and we also call it 'pasalubong' ❤️
Yes! Hahaha. My baby nephew always says "Ubong" every time we go home. XD
True! And I never really took notice of that habit until you pointed it out. :D We just love seeing people happy with what we bring home.
Us too, which is usually food. Lol!
yep, esp when you see something cute that you know a family member or a friend would really like, you get it for them...
Pa-Jco ka naman. Pa-Jabi ka naman. Pa-goldilocks ka naman! Pa-mang inasal ka naman. Pa-halo-halo ka naman... haha
Thankyou for loving our country and staying here and enjoying here thanx for accepting our tradition.....
thank you guys, for appreciating street life in the Philippines, the gasoline attendants, the parking attendants and tricycle..
I totally agree with the pasalubong. I used to bring some everyday for my younger sister even though I'm just going to school. I think it's seen as a way to show care and affection and that you thought of that person while you're away.
i highly recommend maybe try to speak Tagalog even gradually until it becomes fluent

Correct,we're satisfied eating by using our hands it feels so delicious...
Not for me and others
in Middle east they ude they hands when eating.😀
When you use hands the food is more taste and using spoon iis in the metal. But we only using hands for dry food and boodle fight 😄
Thanks Lucy and George for adopting Filipino ways. You are so so awesome couple. Keep safe. God bless you both.

I’m a Filipino, I take off all packaging plastics from all my new stuff. The dust settles easily on these things!
The spoon doubles as knife here. Also works well in prying certain things oper, like when dealing with a not so tender piece of meat.
10:21 Pasalubong is also similar to the Japanese "Omiyage"
More like a souvenir from a place they've been visited.
Ang hapon natuto na lang yan sa mga pinay na nag work sa Japan..Sa atin nila natutunan yan kahit ang mga Koreano ngayon natuto na rin sa atin regarding pasalubong...hehehe..

Gud am, pls try adobo sa gata "adobo in coconut milk" and kaldereta sa gata, tnx for sharing our country to the world, tnx Godbless
Yes pasalubong is a thing. Even when your family member just went to the mall, most probably you'll get a pasalubong in the figure of a takeaway!
YESSSS! Pasalubong is a very loving gesture to us. And thank you for appreciating and adopting it.
I love Lucy's Tshirt's message: West Philippine Sea.
Pasalubong is a kind and caring way of showing love to the people you are giving. 🥰 I remember my mum always bring me pasalubong everytime she comes back from the market(food shopping). I tend to do it to my kids but I call it surprise now love the look on their faces 🥰🥰🥰

I was born in the Philippines and spent my growing up years there... I now live in the US but I have the wonderful Philippine pasalubong custom imbedded in me. . .
Oh, .. adding on :
- when asked a question, responding the affirmative with the ‘raising of the eyebrows’ ☺️
Thanks for this video and appreciating the Philippines and the customs of the Filipino people.
Definitely rude to click fingers just to get someone’s attention especially in restos.
Love the the shirts and the accents 😉
Yes, my “pasalubongs” presents to my colleagues whenever I visit our Portsmouth office branch is always a hit 😄
I'm a Filipino living near Worthing. Cool to see your experience with our country!
nod when we answer yes
shake head when it's no.
The spoon and fork is something I’m so proud of as a subscriber since the beginning of your Philippines travel 💕
Almost everything is relatively expensive in the Phil. and so people keep the coverings longer. My English brother in law is so cheap that will put Ilocanos to shame but I understand him bec. I admit I am cheap/frugal myself.
The most I love and funny you adopt a Filipino habit it was you show where is the place your looking and then replied you pointing their mouth that's cool hahahaha.Thank you and you are both sweet couple.Keep safe and God bless you.
What a nice hoody and a shirt 😍
Thank you!!
Great to hear you both enjoy/ loving, living in my country...!
i always look forward to your uploads everyday :) love you guys
Yay! Thank you!
BGC had Tricycles before, electronic Tricycles they have stopped using it though. It's color is orange green blue. I think that was like around 2009 when there are less building and people.
Calling someone Sir and Maam, specially someone in authority, is the vestiges of centuries of the Philippines colonial past!
Yes, and this vestige is now pass on to some sectors in Philippine society who claims and believe they are person in authority and feel elated if you call them sir/maam.
@@dennisdelgado8277 Yes I agree. They are called Power Trippers!!!
This explains why my Filipino boyfriend keeps plastic on things, keeps tags on rugs, plants, things, he even keeps the corner pieces on canvas pictures on the wall for a month until he’s 100% sure he wants it. I thought that was a “him” thing but am now understanding it’s a cultural thing! (We are both expats in USA - he’s from the Phillipines and I’m from England), and your videos help us understand each other hahaha! Thank you 😂❤️👌👍🤗
The "Filipino Time" is so annoying..when meeting friends or school mates id be the earliest one in some meeting place and its so awkward when Im alone sitting in a bench somewhere 30 minutes or so....even though it's still acceptable, I still dont like being late personally
I agree. Waiting for someone who is late wastes my time.
Really enjoyed that! Coming from a British Pinoy...
I'm too early! It's rainy evening guys!💪
Very rainy! Stay safe :)
I really love the west philippines sea!.. thank you for supporting it.. that means a lot
Love you guys!!!
Thanks for watching!!
Yes pasalubong is common whenever you leave town. It can either be food or other items that represents the place you've been to.
Brits wearing West Philippine Sea hoodie is heartening ❤️🤘🏼
Am so happy Listening and watching both of you...Love your vlog......more success 2Both....
Fun fact:
Filipinos have their own gender neutral pronoun- Sir-Mam lol
I'm learning a lot from you guys.... the things not to do here in UK... (actions that might have different interpretation) - Filipino currently working here in Southwest, England....
Yehey 1st 😀😀

pasalubong is common in East Asia. The Koreans, Japanese, and the Chinese do it too...
Cant get my eyes off that chinese characters on your t-shirt..... i dnt know what it says .
I actually didn't realize we were doing some of these things, haha! No.1 is so funny, lol - I guess we want the items to last as long as they possibly can, especially the ones we've worked so hard for because we're very sentimental people too
No.2. Attendance (Attending to other people's needs) - I guess this is one of the things that trained us to help or to be of service to other people(?) (Aside from the "Bayanihan" concept
Spoon & Fork - We love to eat! So I guess we have these eating habits for practicality's sake. We use spoon-fork more often because we eat rice a lot so it's only practically to use the same utensil for other food as well, including meats/steaks (except maybe when we're in super-formal dining settings, then that's when we'd use the steak knife)
Also a note on using our hands when eating, it's a habit that I think most Filipinos remember/learn in childhood/ when childrearing. Mothers are able to connect more with their little ones when the moms feed their kids directly from their own hand. It's one of the best ways to bond (food + skin (hand to lips) contact)
Pointing with our lips - We actually don't realize it when we're doing it, lol! (much like the Indian nod). I guess it's because we love to multi-task and we're pretty expressive with our mouths (chatting/singing/eating) so we use it as well when pointing things, lol. Now that I realize it, it kinda looks like we're asking for a kiss though, haha!
Sir or Mam because Filipinos are very respectful. It's done in many Asian countries because respect is very important. The plastic is dependent on the Filipino.
Thanks. Hopefully going to Tagaytay next year, very useful to know that stuff!
