7 Things Filipinos Do Differently Than Americans

[@cjichinose]

"I don't want to eat the last piece" It is a common Filipino habit to avoid admitting or blame that they've eaten most of the food. If you eat the last piece, it means you eaten most of the food even if it is not.

[@deanhashim9792]

Hey Devil Dog....I am your fellow US Marine here...who happens to be Pinoy. Just a little correction on your favorite pinoy recipe....it's "paksiw" not paksil.The use of soda bottles is a Philippine thing not a Mindanao thing. I hope to meet you in person when I get a chance for a vacay in the Philippines. Take care, my Brother! OORRAAH and SEMPER FI, MARINE!

Glass bottles retains more of the CO² than the plastic bottles which is the reason why sodas tastes better from glass bottles.

[@evelyncastrojo9097]

Totally agree! Now, my friend, you got the scientific reason why soda in a glass bottle tastes better than in a plastic bottle.

[@emzzz8180]

it also cools faster/warms lesser than plastic + if you're concerned about "Plastic Particles" getting into your body then that's the best solution

[@edgarwong4373]

I think Filipinos prefer glass bottle over plastic because it's believed that plastic bottles degrade over time, that it will contaminate the product by plastic chemicals from the plastic while the glass bottle doesn't degrade, easily therefore it will not contaminate the contents of the bottle, so Filipinos prefer the glass bottle over plastic bottles, that's what I heard people say, that's the reason why Filipinos prefer glass bottles

[@kevincampbell3895]

Plastics do leach chemicals into soda. Its minute amounts, but caustic sodas make it worse. That's why the push for BPA free plastics for food use in the USA. Also, materials science shows, that glass bottles are capable of sustaining a higher pressure and having stronger carbonation. They also are less permeable to gases under pressure.. Does the bottler actually make it more fizzy tho? Maybe.

[@millavas]

from my experience in taste, sodas in plastic seem to be more overly sweeter than in glass bottles.

[@nicogervacio3760]

Glass bottles stay colder for a longer time, perfect for tropical weather

[@zeroreaper4442]

In terms of taste and how refreshing it is would prefer the glass bottle but on a budget go plastic. Where I am at in cebu 2L in a glass bottle is P100 but the plastic is depending on where you buy but preferably at 711 or grocery it is in-between P80-90.

[@carlmed66]

Tap water is still drinkable as what the Maynilad/NAWASA has announced. It remains compliant with the water quality standards set by the government and it also meets international safety standards for drinking water. We're just being cautious and health conscious that's why we prefer to buy filtered, purified, distilled, mineral etc.

[@johnanderson3899]

No way man. Seen too many dirty water from the faucets here.

[@Random-ld6wg]

the main issue is not necessarily the quality of the water after being treated by NAWASA it is the delivery system as the water mains may have leaks that allow contaminants to enter the water supply.

[@th3sinner]

back in the day, when plastic bottles were not a thing in the Philippines, there were distributors that supply bottled soda for the sari-sari stores for each area. When they get sold, the sari sari stores usually add a deposit cost to the bottled glass soda and when you return them you get your deposit back OR you bring your own empty glass bottle of the same brand and give it to the store and buy a new one with no deposit.The stores then return it to the distributors and then to the bottling factory for recycling. thats how it works in our sari sari store before here in northern Luzon.

[@EdgarJr.Pillos]

This right here correctly explains the glass bottled industry in the Philippines whether it's softdrinks or beers. It's not the stores that refill and recycle them rather it's still the softdrink or beer company that does it. They just exchange empty glass bottles to the filled one when buying from their distributors.

[@Mhike177]

Carbonation in the glass bottle is retained, which lessens the flatness sensation. We know how flat soda don’t taste as good as fresh one.

[@elijahczardaquio6999]

Regarding the plastic bottle vs glass bottle...if you compare the taste of soda between being stored in plastic bottles and glass bottles...the taste tends to last longer when sodas are stored inside glass bottles compared to plastic bottle....glass bottles are cheaper than plastic bottles; although plastic bottles ranges from 1.5L to 2L....

[@archiebuera2591]

Glass bottles is not just a Mindanao thing it's everywhere in the philippines

[@CarsPlanesTravel]

According to my wife, returning soda bottles to the store is practiced all over the Philippines, some stores add a deposit to the price of the soda and give it back once you return the bottle.

Pasalubong isn't just practiced when going far away. Essentially, someone goes out, and the people at home may receive a treat when you get back. Of course, if you're traveling far, pasalubong is more of an expectation. But you can bring pasalubong even if you just went to the local mall. When I was little, my mom worked a few blocks away from our house. But she would often bring home bananacue or camotecue because there are stalls on her way home. "Salubong" means "to meet." It celebrates that moment when a loved one reunites with the family.

[@JenoHauz]

I feel like the glass soda bottles are not as available in Manila as it did a few years back and that they're more visible in provinces than in the city. At least that's what I notice whenever I go home to Batangas. They can be mostly seen on local stores where you can put in a deposit so you can take the bottle home. You'll get the deposit back when you return the empty bottles or you can return them when you're buying a new one so you don't have to pay a deposit again.

4:50 Definitely everywhere, but groceries have been switching to plastic in my last visit. One thing though, after you open the glass bottle, please wipe the opening. there's usually stains that you wanna remove. You ever tried buying a glass soda from a convenience store? They dump it in a plastic bag (made for it) and give you a straw lol.

[@KiddNitro777]

In some sari-sari store if you are on the road your glass bottled drink gets pour into a plastic bag and of course they hand you a straw to drink, the store keeps the empty glass bottle to complete a whole set or case for redemption, which is why I take the plastic and I keep on going, but I will drink one or the other.

[@WeCanBuild1]

In our family, the last piece of food is called the "last piece of shame". Growing up, we were taught to be mindful of others who haven't eaten yet or still wants more of the food. hence leaving a piece for them, We avoid eating the last piece to avoid being called 'PG" or "Patay Gutom" 😅. Jokes aside, its our way of showing politeness and consideration.

[@heartyforgingandgaming]

All places in philippines they used glass bottle for softdrinks/soda and it much more often sells in sari sari stores

Glass bottles soda is cheeper than in plastic bottle, 235ml in a glass bottle is 10 pesos while 235ml in a plastic bottle is 25 pesos

[@RandomPerson-qv1lh]

The problem with plastic bottle soda is when it's been out in the sun, the taste change. Even when when you put ice or chill it in refrigerator for a day, the taste is different/changed. In glass bottles, it doesn't change much even if its in the case/crate outside at noon in the sun the previous day.

[@sheenaicay5263]

A vlogger is not necessarily a hero; it depends on the vlogger. The mainstream media is still considered number one. Yes, Filipinos love vloggers who promote the Philippines and who support Philippine culture, traditions, and tourist spots. However, if Filipinos become upset with a vlogger, be prepared for simultaneous bashing and negative comments, or your account may face mass reporting. That's why it all depends on the content creator. Vloggers provide good vibes and positive perspectives on life. Being a vlogger can be easily accessible, especially if you have an internet connection, as most people now rely on it. This is also why mainstream media outlets are launching their own channels on KZbin; you can now watch everything online.

[@mabugho]

at home we usually buy the ones in Glass bottles, but most of the time if we do head out to the beach or in a office pot luck, we grab the plastic one's....that way its safer, you know beach or office party tends to get rowdy, and boom the bottle broke, now no one wants to clean up. atleast if a plastic bottle fall off the table it just spills and not break. At home it doesnt matter. you break a glass or the bottle you just sweep it using the walis tingting and dust pan :D

They recycle glass bottles by crushing and melting it. Then mold from it to produce a brand new bottle. I think it's much cheaper to recycle glass than plastic and it's more earth-friendly too.

[@ViralPhoenix]

Lots of places use tap water, but it's usually in rural areas, but even some restaurants do too in cities, so it's always good to ask what water they use for iced tea and stuff like that. I personally drink from the tap, but it does get me bloated sometimes, but every time I moved back here to the Philippines, I try to get used to tap water so I could drink Ice Water from sari sari stores in a pinch. Also, glass bottles usually get rebottled in plants about 50 times before they're melted and recycled. Also idk why exaclty, but even in the US, I buy Mexican coke cuz plastic bottles make drinks taste weird to me.

The last piece not eaten? Doesn't mean we waste food but instead we show care/concern to the others.. these action shows you care more to others and being thoughful of them that maybe they are more hungry than you or they want more but just shy or was not able to get more awhile ago... So even if you like to eat it, you sacrifice your appetite for others ,making sure someone could eat too .. an action of thoughtfulness,care,sacrifice and love to others...not greediness

[@Lowered16]

Plastic bottles has different taste because of the chemicals used to make plastic bottles. Glass bottles are washed, cleaned, sanitized and used again as long it's not chipped or has cracks in it.

During the 1980s and 1990s, it was common for us Filipinos to drink tap water. But over time, as our water system started to deteriorate and the cleanliness of tap water became uncertain, along with bottled water becoming more affordable, we slowly switched to drinking bottled water.

[@BalikbayanPrepper]

This. There was a time when it was an outrageous idea to buy drinking water. But there was a crisis in the 90s when water quality became questionable, so Agua Vida and similar water stations started becoming mainstream.
