Two words. Two cultures. One tee. 🌭+🇵🇭

Chicago has one of the older Filipino communities on the mainland, going back to the students and workers who arrived in the twenties. It grew through the nursing recruitment years into the North Side, Albany Park, Skokie and the northwest suburbs, and it has been quietly holding down hospitals across the city ever since.

"What's up" and "Mabuhay" are both openers that expect an answer. Neither is a formality. One wants the update and the other wants you to sit down and stay, and in a Chicago Filipino house you are getting both before your coat is off.

For Filipino Chicagoans, the Albany Park and North Side crowd, the nurses, and everyone who has defended both their lumpia and their hot dog order in the same conversation. A good gift for graduations, hospital retirements and the cousin who insists on driving in a blizzard.

Part of TeaKo's dual-greeting series with Yo + Mabuhay, Howdy + Mabuhay and Eh + Mabuhay.
