This is the designated 'kita-kits' spot. The 'See you at the entrance of SM' or 'Sa ilalim ng waiting shed.' It's the intersection, the junction, the rendezvous point where paths cross. Can be romantic (a lovers' meeting place) or stressful (EDSA-Ortigas during rush hour).
From 'salubong' (to meet) + '-an' (locative suffix).
ROOT MEANING: act of meeting or fetching someone; reception
Different from 'salubong' (the act of fetching someone). 'Salubungan' is the location or event of meeting. It implies that both parties are moving towards each other.
