When it is termed “Filipino Time” in the Philippines, it denotes that a person’s arrival or the start of a program is not exactly at the time agreed upon. He also gives an example of a reason for arriving late at an agreed-upon time.

“Friends? I feel bad when the term ‘Philippine time’ is mentioned and is used on a person who simply doesn’t arrive on time. Sad no? Guys? Even when traffic is bad… we can still find a way to arrive on time. Kaya natin ‘to,” the singer said in his tweet.

Darren Espanto, a fellow singer in “ASAP Natin ‘To” and a product of “The Voice Kids” season 1, reacted to this. The singer made a joke about Mr. Pure Energy’s feelings.

“Kuwento natin ‘to… Musika natin ‘to… Kaya Natin ‘To… ay iba po pala HAHA,” Darren joked.

Meanwhile, Gary did not specify what or who prompted him to tweet in this manner. His Twitter followers reacted to the singer’s “hugot” post as well.

Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano is regarded as one of the cornerstones of contemporary Filipino music. Warrior is a Child, Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos, Lead Me Lord, How Did You Know, Take Me Out of the Dark, and many more are among the songs he is known for.

  1. Ang Filipino Time ay bansag ng mga Kano sa mga Filipino na hindi naman nila alam kung ano ang puno’t-dulo nito. Ang bansag na ito ay isang uri ng kritisismo o panghahamak sa kasanayang Pilipino. Subalit may kasabihan tayo na ibigay kay Juan ang para kay Juan at ibigay kay Pedro ang para kay Pedro. Hindi iyong si Juan ang makikinabang sa mga pinaghirapan o gawa ni Pedro o si Pedro ang makikinabang sa mga gawa ni Juan. Kaya kung nanggoyo noon ang mga Kastila dahil hindi nila nirespeto at pinahalagahan ang oras ng mga Pilipino, pwes, huwag tayong magpahoyo ngayon kaya solohin ng mga Kastila ang mga kabulastugang ginawa nila para manatili naman ang integridad at dignidad ng mga Pilipino. Kaya pakiusap, for favor, please lang, tigilan na ang katawagang Filipino Time. At dahil nga hindi katutubo sa atin ang pagiging huli at bagkus ay bunga lang ng pang-iindio ng mga Kastilaloy sa mga Filipino, kaya marapat lang na ito ay tawaging “Kastilaloy Time” at hinding-hindi kailanman “Filipino Time.” – Nestor V. Buencido
