I got this definition based on both my experiences in the Philippines for the last six months and also from some wording that I got from on online chat at {Link without Title} ''To give you a real life example the person on the chat said'' "I used to get pasalubong from my father whether he was just coming home from the office or coming home after being away for weeks overseas. Obviously, pasalubong varies in scale. From the office was maybe a bar of hersheys chochlate, from overseas was perhaps a pair of addidas shoes. Also depends on who the pasalubong was for, for my mum he'd bring back perfume or jewelry ... I think he'd be in trouble if all he brought back was a t-shirt" ''In another definition I found a humorous breakdown of the word from separate Tagalog phrases.'' PASALUBONG PASA = to pass LUBO = tagalog a large fish- grouper = LARGE LAPULAPU Lubong = that pertaining to a grouper pasa + Lubong = to pass a large fish ; PASA LUBONG |
