Answer

Kaliwaan means on the spot payment for purchases. The culture of gift giving is called "Pasalubong". It shows that even when you were away, you were still thinking of the person you're buying the gift for.

Answer

I was about to do it, but there were only 4 categories of languages (English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean), that's why I put it in the category of "culture".....

Answer

I don't know the answer but to find someone who might know try moving this question to a more appropriate category than in "learning English".
