Question 1

What is the connection of Filipino Time to Daig ng Maagap ang Masipag?

Accepted Answer

Our common understanding of Filipino Time and the sayings Daig ng Maagap ang Masipag are opposites. That's because Filipino Time was how our American colonizers described the politicians who deemed themselves new VIPs. The use of the word Filipino to describe them is unfortunate as Filipinos do not value being late. Daig ng maagap ang masipag captures the way we value time. Of course, there are foreigners who say that this is true. I believe that's because they have expected that based on what they've read about us.
