Yes we are a Filipino and we use our hands in eating

This is the way of eating in the Philippines its called KAMAYAN. But before eating we always wash our hands for cleanliness and respect for the food. Our Kamayan eating is more than just no more utensils but its a way to enjoy our food. We don't know but it's really good to eat with our hands this is convenient to us but sometimes when our meal has soup it's harder to eat hahaha not only the Philippines has this kind of traditional habit, other countries like Indonesia ,india also have this kind of practice in the middle east and some parts of Southeast Asia. But the new generations or Modern world has changed. Some youths today not even know how to do it properly or they say its not good to eat with their hands because its dirty. Especially when covid happened and everyone was worried about health. Occasions are not possible at that time. Even our favorite bodle fight in the outing was never done in those days. Im so sad that time But for us for our family we dont lose that habit , its really good to eat with our hands and we enjoyed it

    Of course, were Filipino, thats why we eat with our hands. Eating with our hands is more comfortable, especially when you're outdoors or by the sea.
