Pasalubong is the Filipino term which is a present or gift from someone arriving from a trip. The presents or treats must be bought from the place where that someone visited.
Pasalubong is somehow linked to our culture. It's like a must for us to bring something for our families and friends when we go back home. So, when you're in the airport it's quite common to find homecoming overseas Filipino workers with big and excess baggages. I'm pretty sure that most of the things in the bags are 'pasalubong' for their families and friends.
Colombia is famous for their coffee, France is famous for their wines, Cuba is famous for their cigars online , Japan is famous for their electonic gadgets so on and so forth. But I guess the pasalubong that most Filipinos would love are clothes, accessories and electronic gadgets.
