    Filipino time is rooted in the unpredictability of public transportation in the Philippines. When transportation schedules are not predictable, people have to rely on chance for their timing of events. As a result, Filipinos will give time estimates that are within an hour window rather than a 15 minute window to account for potential delays in transportation.

    Theory : "Filipino time" is rooted in "punuan" ng mga Public Transpo Modes.

    When transpo
    isn't predictable, everything you do is banked on chance. So rather than having an exact time,
    people will approximate to +/- 1hr rather than within 15 mins.
