Cultural Insight
John: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Camille: When you invite someone for a meal, there's a big possibility it will be your treat. So make it clear that both of you should pay for your own meal when inviting. Just say KKB which is the abbreviation of kanya-kanyang bayad, meaning "each one pays his own." This is a soft and non-offensive way of conveying that each person will pay for their own bill.
