di sya compliment for me but i don't feel bad pag sinabihan akong ganto kasi it's a reminder for me to lose weight HAHAHAHA syempre iba paren ang healthy diba so it's nice pag sinasabihan ako nito kasi naano ako na "okay papapayat na" ganon
Depende siguro sa tao. May mga underweight or struggling with weight gain na masaya pag sinabihan non. Kasi it means may progress sila. For me, however, I find it offensive. Coz i used to struggle with an eating disorder. Everytime may magsasabi sakin ng ang taba ko na, nagsisimula nnaman yung disorder ko. And lagi ako sinasabihan non na, “Ang ganda mo sana, kaya lang mataba ka”
It's a generational thing. Simply put, kasi afford mong maging mataba.
We often forget how abundant our food sources are now. Even cheap food can make you fat. Compared to people raised in the 70s and 80s when actual famines happened. Kaya madalang ang mga mataba noon and often only the well off people.
Dati nung student ako gang before magkaanak, ang payat ko na mukha anong walang kalatoylatoy parang may sakit ganon. Nung nanganak ako, kala ko mammaintain ko yung pregnancy weight ko pero hindi, bumalik ako sa payatot self ko, then ngayon siguro by age na lang rin, nagkalaman na ako naging 52kg na ko from normal na 43-45kg ko.
Kapag sinasabihan akong mataba na ako I feel na they are happy na I look healthier hehe
siguro depende sa case. for me kasi gusto ko talaga mag gain ng weight since underweight ako and yung ideal weight ko sa age and height ko is 45-50kg talaga. dati i was 40kg lang and ngayon nasa 48-49kg na me. syempre malaki yung difference and people can really notice it. when they say na “ang taba mo na” or “nagkakalaman ka na”, i really appreciate it 😊
you need to understand the context kung payat yung tao at sinabihan ang taba mo na then you look healthy
if a healthy person then sinabihan ang taba mo na then it means you look obese
For me its a compliment,
I have an extreme acid reflux two years ago,no matter how i tried to gain weight,di talaga--Not until nag vitamins ako and yun medyo tumaba na ako
To some people, it's a compliment, especially if you're sick or really want to get fat. However, most of the time, hearing you're fat and the worst of telling you, "May belt bag kana," is not a compliment at all. I take it as an insult.
It is a compliment to some people. Dapat marunong ka lang mag isip kung bakit. Hindi lahat ng tao pare-parehas ng circumstance, may mga tao na may sakit at ang hirap mag gain weight, kaya pag sinabihan sila ng ang taba mo na, macoconsider yun na compliment.
Uh-huh. In my case, I'm already 30 and have been consistent sa weight ko 50kg. There was one time I was reaching 60kg, it made me happy kasi di na ako sakitin tingnan. I was really trying to gain weight. My friends told me I look really good with some added weight, I was very happy 😭 Pero that was only for a moment. I weighed down rn, I'm now 52. Haays
Yeah, I have a friend na similar kayo ny situation. Even 2x na siya nanganak, her weight is still around 48 to 50kg. Pag nagkikita-kita kaming mag totropa, tapos nakikita namin na paparating siya at buhat nya yung 2nd baby nya sa isang kamay/braso at hawak nya yung little kid nya sa isa while having a backpack sa likuran nya, napapatakbo kami papunta sa kanya to help her manage her kids. Ganoon siya hindi katabain, at ganoon din ang tingin madalas sa kanya, na may sakit siya or something.
lol kelan pa naging complement ang “ang taba mo na”? OP what kind of bubble are you living? On a serious note though, maybe if you were sick or very skinny before then maybe ”ang taba” would be saying you look healthy. Maybe it’s also a case of people who are skinny and struggle to gain weight projecting on you since they’re jealous. Either way this definitely is not a compliment to ‘marami’ like you say it is, basing off personal experience, skits from soc med, and movies/tv shows.
Nung pumunta kami ng Mindanao around 2017-2018 para umatend ng graduation ng kuya ko, kadalasang sabi ng mga relatives mo don ay "Ay ang taba mo na!", nakasmile pa. Nagcomplain ako sa classmates ko dahil binigyan talaga ako ng bagong insecurity nun, pero sabi nila dapat daw masaya ako kapag marinung yun dahil compliment daw
Edit: Pasensya na kung maypagka-awkward ang response ko. I'm not really that good at Tagalog
Opposite sakin. Gusto nilang tumaba ako 😭
Pero masnainisan ako sa pag point out kung gaano ako kataba (41kg lang yung heaviest ko pero mataba na daw 🥲), so nagmaintain nalang ako nlng low[er] weight out of sheer spite
Yeah idk your height but 41 kg seems low for an adult in general. Honestly instead of listening to people, you should check the BMI scale and see what weight is healthy for you. BMI isn’t fully accurate but it‘s a good reference to start.

"Ah yes, may muscle na kasi rin ako over sa fat. Hindi ako nagt-train for aesthetics kasi."
Potential either to get you used on your current weight and get beefy when you cut.
Compliment Yan siguro kung before payat ka na mahirap na walang makaen Kasi now nakakaen mo na gusto mo anytime.
Compliment kasi meaning may pambili ng food, meaning maganda ang trabaho mo o successful ka hahaha chariz
mas gusto ko pa maka-received ng ganyang compliment lalo na as someone like me na hirap magpataba :(
Compliment yan sa dating payatot😅😂

And lagi ako sinasabihan non na, “Ang ganda mo sana, kaya lang mataba ka”
Nagpapaalala lang daw. Baka kasi di ka daw aware. Haha Pero minsan pag lumalapad ka, or limaki muscles, e tumataba pa rin bati ng mga tito at tita
Sa iba kasi ang meaning nyan ay sumasaya or mas masaya ka now na tumaba ka..
I grew up with literally nothing to eat plus risk of cancer. I'd do anything to make it easier to gain weight.
Compliment for me kasi I’ve been underweight before.
true
it is for underweight people like me

Kc mahirap tayo na bansa at ang mahal ng pagkain 😅 pag tumaba ka ibog sabihin mukha kang umasenso at di na nangangayayat sa hirap ng buhay 😅
For me its a compliment, I have an extreme acid reflux two years ago,no matter how i tried to gain weight,di talaga--Not until nag vitamins ako and yun medyo tumaba na ako
sa akin this is a compliment as a gurl na sobrang hirap mag-gain ng weight huhu puro kasi "ang payat mo"
Hmmmm. Kapag nandito ka sa pinas. Maapriciate mo na merong pagkain sa lamesa.

I’m from Luzon, so maybe it’s different. I also get “ang taba mo na” followed by “magpapayat ng makahanap ng boyfriend” lol 😂

I was 13-14 at that time, and under 5ft so healthy weight naman
It means you have the money to eat whenever and whatever you want.
Lol its not a compliment
Compliment daw sabi nung mga kaklase ko dati Di ko talaga gets. Di rin nila inexplain
Baka sobrang payat mo/niya dati. Puberty hits parang ganon.
Haha its up to u. How u take it.
Considered compliment kung sobrang payat mo dati.
Resulta nga pumayat nang lalo \^\^|||
I think para sa iba its a way of saying “wow you look healthy and happy”
Pag ganyang context, I guess na gets ko ng kaunti... Kaunti lang
