Salvacion is known to be very supportive of Rabiya’s endeavors, particularly when it comes to her quest to be Miss Universe 2020.
The post, which contains a single Ilonggo word “Padayon”, and features a “Baybayin” script equivalent on the top, has a deep meaning for all Ilonggos.
In English it could be interpreted as “keep going,” while in Tagalog its direct translation is “ipagpatuloy lang.”
For Ilonggos, however, the word means more than just to “keep going.”
In context, it’s like telling someone to get up, keep going no matter what and to continue what one is doing because sooner or later, he or she will find what they’re looking for.
Ilonggos would often say the word “padayon” to a friend or loved one who failed at something or lost in a contest.
For an Ilongga like Rabiya, her boyfriend’s post may be what she needs to immediately recover from her disappointing loss.
