Gary Valenciano caught the attention of netizens after sharing his sentiments on “Filipino time” — a phenomenon used to describe Filipinos who usually arrive late on certain engagements due to traffic or unpredictable weather. | HMallorcaINQ
The singer’s statement drew mixed reactions from netizens on Twitter, with some sharing their own sentiments about the transportation system in the Philippines. Others, however, said the concept of “Filipino time” shouldn’t be used to describe someone who’s “always late.”
Sir Gary! A practice I do if I will be inevitably late, especially that I am a Manila commuter, is to clear. Meaning, I will say that I might be late around an hour or 30 minutes before the agreed time so the person expecting me will know what to do as my form of respect.One @icanbeyourErO said commuters will “continue to struggle to arrive on time” if the condition of the “public transportation system will not improve.
“For me it’s always about respect. Respecting your time and theirs. If they don’t arrive on time w/o reason, they think their time is more valuable than yours, consciously or not,” they began. “On the other hand, if you are late, you don’t respect yourself enough to be true to your word.”If they don’t arrive on time w/o reason, they think their time is more valuable than yours, consciously or not.
