It is an unfortunate fact na sa filipino language, we use the same word "pagpapaalam" for 'notifying' and 'asking for permission'.. kaya sa pagrerelasyon we take this as if may karapatan tayo bawalan ang karelasyon natin sa mga bagay bagay, when we are supposed to be equal thinking beings responsible for our own actions.
And sadly, the third meaning of "pagpapaalam" is goodbye.. kaya we obsess on the fact na pag nagpaalam ang partner, it is because they are about to spend time not including us.
Maybe that is the reason na mas madaming toxic karelesyon na mga pinoy?
