How Common Is Holding Hands in Public?

[00:00:00]In your city, how common is holding hands in public?

[00:00:07]In the province, it's very conservative.

[00:00:11]That's why couples out there don't really... like walking while holding hands.

[00:00:20]How about here in Cebu City?

[00:00:22]Here in Cebu City, you can do whatever you want.

[00:00:25]You're away from your family.

[00:00:27]Like, you can... hold hands while walking with your boyfriend, without being judged or hesitating.

[00:00:35]Someone will judge you out there.

[00:00:39]What about a quick kiss?

[00:00:42]If you are boyfriend and girlfriend and then you just smack like that?

[00:00:45]Oh yeah, it's okay.

[00:00:54]Oh, yes.

[00:00:56]Not a French kiss, but just a smack.

[00:01:02]You don't feel shy if your boyfriend kisses you in public?

[00:01:07]I don't. Sometimes it depends on the place.

[00:01:10]It depends on the place. How about here?

[00:01:13]In a shopping mall?

[00:01:16]No, it's kind of embarrassing here.

[00:01:19]How common is holding hands in public?

[00:01:27]There is a lot of holding hands here in public in Manila.

[00:01:31]But when I see it, it's usually the younger generation.

[00:01:35]I don't really see it with people aged 50 and above, or let's say in their 40s.

[00:01:42]It's always teenagers or young adults.

[00:01:47]So you don't feel shy holding hands in public?

[00:01:51]I don't, and I don't feel shy.

[00:01:53]But it's just that it's not common.

[00:01:55]It's not an everyday occurrence that you get to see someone holding hands.

[00:02:01]But it's not frowned upon.

[00:02:03]It's not that we hate it.

[00:02:05]It's just that people don't really feel comfortable holding hands with each other in public.

[00:02:12]What about a quick kiss?

[00:02:15]I'm not really into PDA.

[00:02:18]But there's not really much PDA, public display of affection, that I see in public.

[00:02:28]Maybe because Filipinos are more conservative in terms of intimacy.

[00:02:33]Yeah, I don't really see many quick kisses in public.

[00:03:03]No, because people will judge you.

[00:03:27]We usually don't care who holds hands with each other, as long as they are okay with it and as long as, you know, no one is getting hurt.
