A standard way to refer to drinking water.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Offering water is the first rule of hospitality. It is considered rude to let a guest sit for long without offering a drink. Many Filipinos believe drinking cold water when 'pasmado' (overworked/sweaty) leads to illness. 'Palamig' refers to a variety of sweet, chilled drinks sold in plastic cups on the street. In cities, 'service water' in restaurants is almost always 'malamig na tubig' and is free of charge.
