So it’s been beaten?

I’d attest to that Juan de la Cruz for the most generic Filipino name. de la Cruz still works as a very common surname though I don’t think Juan is still used as much as back then.

And then there are the placeholder phrases, all of which I’ve heard and used.

Uy, ku’nin mo ang ano, yung kuan, iyon! Ay, ano nga ba ang tawag d’yan? Noong ninety kopong-kopong pa namin binili iyan kina ano… Ano nga ba’ng pangalan niya?

In the Philippines, we don’t drink from the tap. At all. It’s quite dangerous and there have been a number of internet personalities that got stomach aches from drinking tap water ^{cough haachama cough}

Instead, there are a lot of establishments here that sell drinkable water at a fraction of a dollar per 5 gallons.
