"PURYA BUYAG"

Cebuanos usually say this to prevent any bad thing from happening to someone when being complimented by another. Most common situation is when someone sees an infant, or a baby or a child who looks very cute and that person gushes over the baby, infant or child.  The mother or the guardian of the child says, ‘purya buyag’ accordingly to drive away the evil spirits that will cause something bad to happen to that child.
