What started out as a simple video of a girl bored at a mall turned into a viral phenomenon known as the Pabebe Girl, taking the Philippines by storm. The video went under the radar until a few months ago when a couple of local community pages picked it up and shared it, helping it gain its current status in popular culture. The term “pabebe” has come to replace the term “pa-cute” in Pinoy slang, and over time (and thanks to more videos) has evolved into a term synonymous with being sobrang pa-cute, nagmamaganda, and, above all else, annoying.
So how do we innocent by-standers protect ourselves against this sudden onslaught of pabebe-ness? Identification is the key to the solution, so here are 8 ways to tell if a girl is actually pabebe.
