What are some interesting/weird/superstitious things about the Philippines that only Filipinos would understand or notice?
Proud Bisaya Ko
The Philippines is a fascinating country full of interesting and unique beliefs. One of these superstitions, Tabi-Tabi Po, means that one must ask permission before entering any place or taking anything – whether a flower, a small object, or even a tiny rock. It is believed that whoever takes something without asking could be cursed by the spirits
who now inhabit that space. The culture in the Philippines is so different and unique compared to many other countries, with superstitions like Tabi-Tabi Po only adding to its diverse history and people. Its charm has attracted tourists from all over the world for centuries and continues to captivate them with its extraordinary traditions and warm hospitality.Footnotes
