“Kampay” (sometimes spelled kampai) is a super popular Filipino street term used when people are drinking alcohol—basically the local version of “cheers.” You’ll hear it during inuman or drinking sessions with friends (barkada), family gatherings, birthdays, or casual nights with pulutan (snacks that go with drinks).
When someone says “Kampay!”, everyone raises their glass, bottle, or even a plastic cup and takes a sip together. It’s more than just a toast—it represents camaraderie, celebration, and togetherness. Whether the drink is beer, gin, rum, or even just juice, saying “kampay” sets a fun, relaxed mood and shows shared respect and good vibes.
In true Filipino style, it’s loud, cheerful, and often followed by laughter and stories—because drinking in the Philippines is as much about connection as it is about the drink itself. 🍻
