The so called Filipino time

The term is used also in Spain, when they want you do be puctual they precise "hora Inglesa" (English time) that means no Spanish time. Latin populations are not punctual.

ahaha, I am not one of them. I am almost always early every time.

Are you saying that it is true that Filipino's are always late? I always thought it was women that are always late.

I though the Filippinos were very punctual with time. We are also known to be late, I understand!

Oh is that a fact? That means that you are a relaxed time there

Don't feel bad, you're not the only county like that! Spain is also known for doing that, and so are most of the Central American countries like Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, etc. Do you have a meeting scheduled for 9:00am? Well, maybe it will start at 9:30am. Or 9:45am. Who knows. We'll start the meeting whenever people decide to show up! haha If there's one thing Americans can be counted on, it's being punctual. If the meeting is scheduled to start at 9:00am, then you can count on Americans being in the room and ready to go by 8:55am.

I was always ‘honda’(on the dot joke).

We too have such an expression “janji Melayu” meaning Malay’s promise. So when someone is late for an appointment, we would say “janji Melayu” as if that explains why these people are always consistently late.

We say that of other cultures too about that kind of time . My cousin married a bride whose culture was supposedly late in time like you're saying . . . our family was warned about the wedding and reception time .

this is just a matter of belief, and everybody should start to value other's time. Most Filipinos here are on time or ahead of time.

I have never heard this before. I have some family members that are always late.

This is a good idea! That's the only way I'll be on time

We have inherited the Filipino time from the Spaniards when the Philippines was still their colony.

That's a problem which it can be solved. They can make it on time in catching a plane, boarding a ship, on a bus terminal.

Oh well sad truth but we seem to be fond of coming in late in many occasions. Sometimes the VIPs are the one who does this so the attention would be focused on them when they come a little late in an important occasion.

In the USA to be late for work would cause you to loss your job.

Glad you get extra time

hmmm it does happen to me.sometimesm

I hate being late. I always arrive on time

I hate these words ”FILIPINO TIME” I don't like those people comes always late. I always come early than to be late.
