Pasalubong (Souvenirs)
The closest literal translation of pasalubong in English would be “souvenir”. However, “souvenir” does not even approximate its contextual meaning. The root of the word is the word “salubong” which means “(to) welcome” or “reception”, and “pa-” would assume the function of the word. Thus, the word “pasalubong” may be translated as “something meant for you when you welcome me back.”
The term can describe any gift one gives upon a return from any journey, no matter how short or how long, and it is usually indigenous foods or things from the region or country where the traveler came from. The gesture of handing out pasalubong conveys that loved ones are being remembered while away. But sometimes, forgetting or not giving out pasalubong can be perceived as a sign of ill will or stinginess! :P
