Here's a list on how we address our parents in the Philippines: Nanay, Mama, Mommy, Mamang (Mother), Tatay, Papa, Daddy, Papang (Father). I also included the english names popular in our country.

Dear ledydien,
I am a Malaysian...many races lives here.
So, Malays will call 'ibu, emak' = mother
and 'ayah, bapa' for father.
Since I am a Malaysian-Chinese, the Chinese will
address mother as 'Mama' 'mah' and father as 'Papa' 'Apak'.
But many modern families will be calling 'Mummy' and 'Daddy'
Cheers :)
