How do you spell hello in Philippines?

There is no single, universally accepted way to say "hello" in the Philippines.

It depends on the language and region:

Tagalog (the national language):

* "Magandang araw po" (Formal, literally "Good day")

* "Magandang hapon po" (Formal, literally "Good afternoon")

* "Magandang gabi po" (Formal, literally "Good evening")

* "Kumusta ka?" (Informal, "How are you?")

* "Hello" (English, widely used)

Other languages:

* "Kumusta" (Cebuano, Bisaya, and other Visayan languages)

* "Mabuhay" (Ilocano, "Welcome")

* "Kamusta" (Kapampangan)

* "Araw" (Pangasinan, "Day")

The most common and widely understood way to say hello in the Philippines is "Magandang araw po" or "Hello".
