Mabuhay Mabuhay Mabuhay is a Filipino greeting, usually expressed as "Mabuhay!", in the imperative form of "life", thus, "Live!", from the root word "buhay" (life). The phrase carries various meanings including "long live", "may you live", "cheers", "welcome", and "hurrah". It is thus analogous to Aloha, Talofa and Kia Ora in fellow Austronesian languages, Hawaiian, Samoan and Māori; the Romance language expression “Vive, Viva”, the Hindustani suffix "Zindabad", and the Japanese exclamation "Banzai". The expression is mostly used for toasts during gatherings and parties, and is used as a cry of adulation towards individuals or concepts at rallies and political conferences.
