A typical lifestyle of a Filipino is this - We eat seven (7) times a day.
1. Agahan or Almusal in the morning.
2. Merienda at 9:00 AM. (Ilocanos prefer Kilabban than merienda.)
3. Tanghalian at high noon.
4. Merienda at 3:00 PM. (Ilocanos prefer Kilabban than merienda.)
5. Pulutan and Toma at 7:00 PM (for Men while singing with friends)
Junk Foods (for Women and Kids while watching telenovelas)
6. Hapunan or Panggabi at 8:30 PM
7. Midnight Snack while watching the evening news.
. . . and not yet included in the above lists are those we eat regularly such as green mango, balut, penoy, one day old, adidas (not rubber shoes), IUD (not contraceptive), and other weird sounding and health threatening street foods.
Finally, a typical Filipino will not starve to death, but change in lifestyle can kill.
