Mawalang-galang po literally means "excuse me". But you could also say "pasintabi po."

Yes, 'mawalang galang' might mean excuse me but we don't really use it in that context. I know I don't cause I'd sound weird. I prefer to say excuse me. For me, 'mawalang galang' is commonly used towards the elders, maybe your big boss or someone who has an authority. It's kind of saying 'with all due respect' in English.

I grew up in the Philippines until I was 21 years old and for me, saying "Excuse me" instead of "Mawalang galang" is more common among Filipinos. But for me, a scenario that "Mawalang galang" can be used are towards the elderly. It shows more respect.

Mawalang-galang is excuse me, like what Makeni answered. However, Filipinos nowadays, especially teenagers, don't use that phrase as often as we should because: 1. It's too long when you compare it to using "excuse me." 2. It sounds a tad bit too formal.

Ok thanks for the reply.
