Long noodles bring good fortune for a long life.

Some believe that sweeping the floor at night will sweep all fortune outside of the house rather than bringing it inside.

This belief says that when a person with strong energy greets a child, the child may soon after suffer from unexplainable discomfort. This is why, especially in the countryside, older people know to say “pwera usog” when showing fondness over children.  

Known as 'sukob,' if your sibling is going to get married this year, then you should not tie the knot this year as well.  It is believed that the two marriages and the death of a close relative will split the good fortune.

When you enter an unknown area, elementals and demons may play with you. It is a sign of respect for the unknown creatures or elementals to say 'tabi-tabi po,' which translates to "excuse me" or "step aside, sir."
