Literally, it means to live or thrive. "Buhay" means life in Tagalog. It might suggest to someone to have a good life. It is usually used as a greeting in certain instances or as a toast to everyone.

Mabuhay is the traditional greeting in this wonderful place. It is used to say hello, goodbye, or just a general all around friendly greeting.

Mabuhay is welcome word has lots of meaning. It also means Hello or welcome. But I guess the best meaning of the word in English is Long Live, cheers!
Mabuhay!

"Mabuhay" is not a greeting in the Philippines. It is similar to "Viva". People in the Philippines do not greet "mabuhay" to one another. It is a word for tourism and national pride and from history. They more commonly say "kamusta" , what is in origin "como esta"

Live!
Or, when used with specific people, "Mabuhay si Jose," it's like saying, "Long Live Jose!"

Jesus is the word of God and God communicates with people through this personal, human incarnate to restore the broken relationship between man and God after The Fall. So if we want to follow God, we should follow Jesus' teachings and parables etc.

When Pacquiao won and everybody was saying MABUHAY SI PACQUIAO, they din't mean WELCOME PACQUIAO nor did they mean HELLO PACQUAIO. It 's just too awkward that way.
