    ON THE WAY

    Because of its natural beauty, the Philippines is well-


    known as “The Pearl of the Orient Sea” or in Spanish
    term, it is “Perla del Mar de Oriente”
    Manila serves as the center of culture, economy, education,
    and government in the Philippines.It is also the main gatewayfor internationaltravelersgoing to the Philippinesby flight.
    While Filipinos are
    known as some of the
    most fluent speakers of
    English in the world,
    getting to know basic
    phrases of the main
    local language Tagalog
    is an exciting
    experience in itself for
    visitors.
    Here are the important
    phrases such as greetings that
    are useful to know Tagalog.
    “MAGANDANG
    UMAGA"
    (Good morning)
    “Maganda(ng)” actually means “beautiful” in
    Tagalog, but locals have been using the word in their
    greetings to mean “good”. Because for Filipinos, a
    good day is a beautiful day too.
    “MAGANDANG
    HAPON"
    (Good afternoon)
    “Maganda(ng)” actually means “beautiful” in
    Tagalog, but locals have been using the word in their
    greetings to mean “good”. Because for Filipinos, a
    good day is a beautiful day too.
    “MAGANDANG
    GABI"
    (Good evening)
    “Maganda(ng)” actually means “beautiful” in
    Tagalog, but locals have been using the word in their
    greetings to mean “good”. Because for Filipinos, a
    good day is a beautiful day too.
    “Kumusta ka?”
    (How are you?)
    “Kumusta ka?” should sound familiar to Spanish speakers, because this is the Tagalog
    counterpart to the Spanish “¿Cómo está?” which also means “How are you?”.
    “Salamat”
    (Thank you)
    “Salamat,” which means “thank you”,
    should come in handy in any
    situation in the Philippines. Use it
    during a quick chat with the locals,
    in your rides around the country, or
    when eating out with friends.
    “Oo" (Yes) Opo "Hindi" (No) Hindi po
    “Oo” is pronounced as “oh-oh”, while “hindi” is pronounced “hin-DI”,
    “P’wede po magtanong?”
    (May I ask a question?)
    In case you find yourself lost Say
    “p’wede po magtanong?” (“May I ask a
    question?”) before you ask them for
    directions, and they will for sure
    happily engage with your question.
    “Paalam”
    (Goodbye)
    When the time comes that you have
    to bid goodbye say “Paalam”
    (meaning “Goodbye”) to let them
    know you’re leaving.
    “Ingat”
    (Take care)
    Say “ingat,” meaning “take
    care,” when you have to
    part ways with someone
    who’s travelling to another
    place without you.
    “Po” (an article to
    add politeness to
    any sentence)
    “Po” is a Tagalog article used in the
    middle or at the end of most sentences to
    show respect. Add this article when
    you’re talking to elders or authorities.

    You can also use it when talking to


    anyone regardless of age, when you just
    want to sound as courteous as possible.
