The quote "bato-bato sa langit, ang matamaa'y huwag magagalit," means that when you throw a rock into the air and a "bato-bato" bird should be hit, it should not hold any grudge upon you, as you did not aim for anything in particular; the sky is a vast place — the odds of hitting anything would be extremely low. This quote is a commonly misinterpreted Filipino proverb, which most people depict as when throwing a rock into the air; anyone who may be hit by it should not hold any anger.

Another example of a Filipino proverb could be "daig ng maagap ang masikap," meaning that even the military throughout the world recognize that the quick outdoes the industrious. Sadly, most are only familiar with Confucius, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian proverbs; Filipino proverbs are not well promoted in Western literature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.177.80.139 (talk) 08:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
