Mabuhay

From one of my old, old, web page, going back early 90s.

"Mabuhay" is a Pilipino verb in the form of a command: "Live!"

It is also a wish:

• "May you live!"
• Whosoever says it wishes upon you the great gift of a long and full life.
• It is both a blessing and a lusty cheer.
• "Mabuhay" (ma-boo-high) is such a large word that it lends itself to a wide number of secondary uses:
  welcome,
  congratulations,
  thanks,
  godspeed,
  hello,
  good luck,
  cheers,
  prosit,
  sante,
  viva,
  kambei,
  aloha,
  and many other expressions of goodwill.
• All these are a part of life; but it is the gift of life that makes them possible.
• "Mabuhay", in other words, is an invocation and a celebration of life itself.

MABUHAY!!
