Two words. Two cultures. One tee. 🇳🇿+🇵🇭

The Filipino community in Aotearoa New Zealand is young and growing fast. Auckland holds the biggest share, Christchurch grew through the rebuild years when tradespeople were needed, and the dairy regions of Waikato, Taranaki and Southland run on Filipino farm workers who arrived for a season and stayed for a decade.

"Kia ora" is te reo Maori and it means far more than hello. It carries life and wellbeing inside it. "Mabuhay" does the same thing in Filipino. Two Pacific languages arriving at the same idea independently is not a coincidence, it is what happens when a greeting has to work for people who might be staying a while.

For Filipino Kiwis, the Auckland and Christchurch communities, the dairy and aged care workers, and the kids who barrack for the All Blacks with a plate of pancit in front of them. A good gift for graduations, residency approvals and anyone who calls two islands home.

Part of TeaKo's dual-greeting series with G'day + Mabuhay, Aloha + Mabuhay and Hafa Adai + Mabuhay.
