According to Tin Valeriano, Filipino Time define being minutes to hours late
compared to the exact time. Many factors are attributed to being late in the Philippines. The
number one perennial problem is traffic. In this lifetime, about thousands of people may have
reasoned out traffic as an excuse for being late as it has always been an everyday dilemma for
both commuters and car owners. However, its still not an acceptable reason because one can
always estimate the travel time and leave earlier than usual. But then again, there may still be
other factors to consider such as vehicular accidents or emergencies. Aside from being late
because of traffic, some people choose to be late. And thats called fashionably late. It is not an
acceptable reason if it is for an appointment, but its somehow acceptable to events such as
parties. Being late is not a nice trait. And its even sadder that its being named Filipino time
even if people from other countries are late just like everybody else. But instead of conforming
to the Filipino Time, why not change the system? Be there on time, and be strict when you set
a schedule. This way, you can help destroy the concept of lateness in the Philippines and be the
first one to exemplify punctuality in your office. Let everyone follow because nows the right
time to be on time not after thirty minutes, and definitely not later than that.
