Eric: "Happy anniversary dear!"

Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Happy anniversary."

Camille: (SLOW) maligayang anibersaryo (REGULAR) maligayang anibersaryo
Eric: Then comes the word - "dear."

Eric: Couples usually celebrate their anniversary together. The Philippines is the only country now in the world, excluding the Vatican, where divorce is not legal so couples normally celebrate their anniversary without fail every year.
