A Filipino restaurant waiter in Saudi was stunned when an Arab man spoke to him in his language. The waiter, who was identified as Glen Colinares, recorded a video of the Arab customer conversing with him in Filipino while he served him his order. The video since has gone viral with the Arab man's flair for the language impressing several Filipinos.
According to the Filipino Times, Colinares said that while he approached the Arab customer to take down his order, he started conversing with him Filipino. During their conversation, the waiter praised the Arab's command of the Filipino language. "Sir, ang galing galing nyong mag-Tagalog," (Sir, you speak Tagalog quite well), he said.
Apart from Tagalog, the Arab man also stunned him by speaking in Bicolano - a dialect used by Filipinos in the southeastern part of the archipelago.
When the Arab's order came in, he was quick to comment that the glass where his pineapple juice was served in was 'ibang klase' (one of a kind). He also told Colinares that his drink was 'masarap' (delicious).
He posted snippets of the conversation on his Facebook page and said that it was 'an unexpected encounter'. Colinares also dedicated his post to kabayans in the Middle East as well as around the world. He also said that the Arab man was "ibang klase" (one of a kind).
The video of the Arab man has since have amassed over 212,000 views, 3,000 reactions, and 38,627 shares on Facebook.
