Monday in Cebuano is Lunes. Just like in most Western cultures, Lunes is the start of the workweek in the Philippines. Therefore, people generally have a gloomy feeling towards this day. There is also a superstition that if you dream of a snake on a Monday, you'll receive money, whereas if you see a cockroach you'll lose money.
== Cultural Perspectives ==


=== Tuesday (Martes) ===
The concept of the days of the week is universal, but the way people perceive and use them can vary across cultures. In Cebuano culture, the days of the week hold significance in religious and social contexts.


Tuesday in Cebuano is Martes. According to traditional Filipino beliefs, Martes is considered as the unlucky day of the week, as this is the day when the god of war, Mangangalakal, is in power. Due to its negative reputation, some people avoid doing important activities such as starting a new business, moving into a new house, getting married, or traveling on this day.
Religious Observance:
In the predominantly Catholic Philippines, Sunday (Domingo) is considered a holy day. Many Cebuanos attend church services and spend quality time with their families on Sundays. It is common to see families enjoying meals together or engaging in recreational activities like going to the beach or having picnics during weekends.


=== Wednesday (Miyerkules) ===
Work and School Schedules:
The weekdays from Monday to Friday are considered work or school days in Cebuano culture. Most businesses and schools operate during these days, and people adhere to a structured routine. It is common for Cebuanos to have a five-day workweek, with Saturday and Sunday being the designated days off for most employees.


Wednesday in Cebuano is Miyerkules. In the West, Wednesday is called "hump day" as it's the middle of the week. In the Philippines, they say "Humok ang iyot sa Miyerkules" which means the breeze on Wednesday is calming. This is because the cool sea breeze calm the humidity down in many places.
Social Activities:
Friday (Biyernes) and Saturday (Sabado) evenings are popular times for socializing and going out with friends in Cebuano culture. Many people look forward to the weekend as an opportunity to relax, unwind, and enjoy the company of loved ones. It is common to see restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues bustling with activity during these days.


=== Thursday (Huwebes) ===
== Practice Exercises ==


Thursday in Cebuano is Huwebes. Huwebes comes from Holy Thursday which is the day of the Last Supper. Due to this, many people go to mass on Thursdays. It is also considered as the luckiest day of the week since the word Huwebes comes from the Spanish word Jueves, which means Jupiter – the planet that is associated with luck.

=== Saturday (Sabado) ===
Exercise 3:

Saturday in Cebuano is Sabado. Sabado comes from the Spanish word Sábado. In Philippine culture, Sabado is considered as a fun day – a day for leisure and relaxation.
