EN: act of meeting or fetching someone; reception
That feeling when you go to the airport with a giant 'Welcome Home!' banner for your balikbayan relative. It's the act of meeting someone, fetching them, or just being there when they arrive. It's the opposite of 'hatid,' which is seeing someone off. 'Salubong' is pure Filipino hospitality in noun form.
From the root 'salubong', meaning 'to meet' or 'to go against'.
Often used with a verb, e.g., 'Sasalubungin kita sa airport' (I will meet you at the airport). As a noun, it refers to the act itself. The 'Salubong' is also a famous Easter pre-dawn ritual reenacting the meeting of the risen Christ and his mother.
