we always have our own appointments or commitments. could be a meeting, a hang out, a date and others alike. but then there's this thing called "Filipino time" which refers to coming late, always on rush and on a hurry for commitments. i just don't know how this conclusion came about but i even if am a proud Filipino, do not go to my appointments late. one factor i guess is because i got used to being punctual during my college days. i mean, having your duty schedule on a 7am-3pm shift and arriving to the hospital beyond 7am will mean absent and which will be equivalent to 3 days make up duty on semestral breaks. 
OMG, i just don't wanna experience the hustle that tardiness brings. how about you? do you come on time for your appointments? or a late comer?

Nah. It's just that everybody else comes earlier than me. Hehehehehehehehehehe!
seriously, nope,i rarely am late to my appointments.. I usually make it a point to be at least 5 minutes early. Not all of us Filipinos go by the "filipino time".

I use to come late before on my appointments and I just don't care that time but now I have a partner which 1 minute late is understandable but unacceptable. If your late means you lose the deal thats his view and that was quite true actually. Winning is the most important thing for him. And now I don't get late anymore even just for second, I am always on time now.
