BREAKFAST

In the Philippines, two words can be used interchangeably to refer to the first meal of the day, and these are almusal and agahan. The word almusal came from the Spanish word almorzar, which means “to have lunch.” This word used to mean breakfast because the Spanish people usually have two types of breakfasts, the almorzar, and the desayuno. As for the word agahan, this can be considered the native Tagalog word for breakfast.
