(Comic Strips Online) Why Filipino Don’t Eat The Last Piece?


Here are other comic strips online that show a surprising fact about Filipino Culture. Have you noticed that Filipino usually leave the last pieces of food on their plate? Not taking the last pieces of food from the center table is subconsciously practiced in the Philippines. Why?

When I was eating with my friends, I always noticed that they don’t eat the last piece. (Except for my girlfriend, she eats everything, especially Jollibee. Haha) They either tell me to have the last piece or offer it to somebody else.
In Filipino culture, they insist on giving the last piece to someone else, because we all know they are hospitable and generous. Some may be due to shyness but most of the time they just want to give it or share it with others.
Living that last piece is one of the Filipino table etiquettes.

I am pleased you find our this interesting. At first I thought they were wasting food but it turned out great.
I had no idea about this! Although, all Filipino people I have met in my life have always been extremely kind and hospitable so I should not be surprised that they would want someone else to take the last piece.
