| "Mabuhay" is a Filipino verb in the form of a command: "Live!" |
| It is also a wish: "May you live!" |
| Whosoever says it wishes upon you the great gift of a long |
| and full life. It is both a blessing and a lusty cheer. |
| "Mabuhay" (ma-boo-high) is such a large word that it |
| lends itself to a wide number of secondary uses: welcome, |
| congratulations, thanks, godspeed, hello, good luck, |
| cheers, prosit, sante, viva, kambei, aloha and many other |
| expressions of goodwill. All these are a part of life; |
| but it is the gift of life that makes it possible. |
| "Mabuhay", in other words, is an invocation and |
| a celebration of life itself. |
