Pasalubong is a Filipino tradition where we bring gifts from where we’ve been back home so families and friends can enjoy them too. These gifts are often locally produced so getting them back home feels like bringing home the experience to family and friends. It’s like a wish you were here, kind.
And seeing your family and friends smile because you thought about them as they receive their pasalubong gives you joy better than when you bought the pasalubong for them.
Yes, there’s a joy in giving.
