Friendship is one of the best gifts in life. Friends are the people who keep us sane, laugh at our bad jokes, eat with us when we’re broke, and roast us like there’s no tomorrow. But let’s be honest—friends come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Some are blessings, others are a test of patience, and a few are simply there for the drama.
Here’s a hilarious yet real breakdown of the different types of friends you’ll definitely recognize in your barkada (or maybe even yourself!).
1. The Borrower (a.k.a. “Utang is Life” Friend)
This is the friend who never shows up empty-handed—not because they brought something, but because they’re about to borrow from you. Whether it’s money (“hulam lang gamay, bayaran ra nako”), a charger, an extra T-shirt, or even your last piece of chicken joy, they’ll always find something to ask for.
Example: You lent them ₱100 for jeepney fare in 2019. To this day, you’re still waiting for the payback… but hey, you’ve already accepted it as a friendship tax.
2. The Foodie Friend
We all have that one friend who plans their entire life around meals. They’re always saying, “Asa ta kaon?” or “Luto ta something, uy.” This friend knows every food park, every trending milk tea shop, and even the newest Korean BBQ spot in town.
Downside: They will 100% say, “Dili ko gutom” but end up eating half of your fries. Upside: You’ll never go hungry when you’re with them.
3. The Mysterious Vanisher
One day, they’re super close. You chat every day, you hang out often, they even tag you in memes. Then suddenly—poof—they’re gone. Weeks later, they show up acting like nothing happened: “Uy, kumusta na?”
You: “Bro, last time I saw you, it was still summer. It’s Christmas na!”
Them: “Haha bitaw, busy lang kaayo ko.”
Sure, Jan.
4. The Over-Sharer
This friend does not believe in “TMI” (too much information). They will tell you every single detail of their life—from their latest crush to what they had for breakfast, and even their dog’s weird bathroom habits.
The good part? You’ll never run out of stories to listen to. The bad part? Your brain now has information you never asked for.
5. The Latecomer
Filipino barkadas always have one. If the call time is 3:00 PM, you already know this friend will arrive at 4:30… sometimes later, sometimes not at all. You love them, but you’ve also learned to lie about meet-up times.
“Bro, kita ta 1 PM ha.” (Your actual plan is at 3 PM.) Works every time.
6. The Self-Proclaimed Life Coach
This is the friend who suddenly becomes a motivational speaker whenever you’re down. “Just trust the process, bro.” “Sis, manifest lang your dreams.” They say all the right words—but in reality, they can’t even fix their own love life or finish their to-do list.
But hey, at least they make you feel better… even if they don’t follow their own advice.
7. The Drama Queen (or King)
Small inconvenience? They’ll treat it like the end of the world. Their crush didn’t reply in 10 minutes? “Wala na, dili na siya interested.” Someone cut in line at Jollibee? “Ginoo ko, this country has no hope.”
It’s exhausting, but also kind of entertaining. Your group chat would be boring without their daily teleserye.
8. The Meme Dealer
Forget CNN, forget GMA News—this friend is your true source of information. They don’t just send memes, they flood your inbox. Every morning, you wake up to 27 unread messages, and all of them are TikToks, Facebook reels, and screenshots with captions like “HAHAHAHA.”
Do you complain? No. Because deep down, you love it.
9. The Always-Broke Friend
The friend who never has money but always has plans. They’ll suggest “Let’s travel!” or “Mag-coffee ta sa Starbucks!” but when the bill comes, suddenly it’s, “Uy, ikaw na lang usa bayad ha, next time na lang nako bayaran.” Spoiler alert: “next time” never comes.
But hey, they bring good vibes. And somehow, you still keep covering for them.
10. The Ride-or-Die
Finally, the rarest gem of them all—the true friend. The one who sticks by you through heartbreaks, embarrassing karaoke nights, failed diets, bad haircuts, and even your dumbest life choices. They’ll tease you mercilessly, but also defend you like family.
If you’ve got at least one Ride-or-Die friend, you’re luckier than most.
Friendship isn’t about having perfect people around you—it’s about having a mix of personalities that make life messy, hilarious, and unforgettable. From the borrowers to the drama queens, from the foodies to the latecomers, each type of friend adds color to your story.
So the next time you’re with your barkada, look around and try to spot these types of friends. And then ask yourself: which one are you? 👀
