Sa salitang Filipino o Tagalog ito ay Kuripot o madamot. Wala namang masama kung magbigay ka lalo na kung sobra pero wala rin naman masama kung ayaw mo magbigay. Ang pagbibigay at hindi pagbibigay ay isang pagpapasya na nababatay sa iyong sariling kagustuhan. Magbigay ka kung may sobra at hindi ka kukulangin. Magbigay ka kung namumunini ka sa sarap at kaginhawahan. Magbigay ka kung nakikita mo na ang bibigyan mo ay wala at sayo ay sobra sobra. huwag kang magbigay kung isusubo mo na lang o para sa pamilya mo. Huwag kang magbigay kung mas meron pa yung bibigyan mo. Huwag kang magbigay kung alam mo na mas maginhawa pa kalagayan ng bibigyan mo kesa sayo. Kung alam mo na sobra na at puro luho na lang inaatupag mo magbigay ka naman. Kung alam mo na nahihirapan na ang nasa paligid mo at ikaw ay nagwawaldas lang magbigay ka naman. Kung matagal mo ng napakinabangan at pinapakinabangan, magbigay ka naman. Ang hirap kasi sa iba, alam ng nahihirapan kapwa nila, konting limos di kayang ibigay puro pa dahilan.
