How do you say hello in the Philippines?

The most common and versatile greeting in the Philippines is "Magandang araw po". This translates to "Good day" with "po" being a respectful marker.

Here are some other greetings you can use depending on the time of day:

* "Magandang umaga po" - Good morning

* "Magandang hapon po" - Good afternoon
