A Filipino drew laughter after winning a Christmas raffle prize labeled

“PC Set,”

though it turned out to mean something different from what most people would expect.

“Computer na sana, naging lugaw pa,” the Redditor said in the “r/Philippines” community.

The post included a photo showing a paper bag labeled “PC SET” alongside a pack of instant noodles.

“The raffle announced a PC set, the crowd cheered, and one man learned that PC can also mean Pancit Canton,” it said.

“Who calls ‘Pancit Canton’ ‘PC’?” a

Redditor

“Had this type of stuff on wedding, kala ko sobrang big time nung nuptials. Nagpakita pa ng plastic sealed boxes. We were all fooled! PC set is Pancit Canton, Mac [equals] Elbow Macaroni, ‘Chance to win 5k’ [equals] lottery scratch card. Pakulo lang pala nung hired host,” another

Redditor

said.

“CONGRATS, Jerick, BRAND NEW PC SET FROM Whiskey Billiard Hall [and] Superclub,” Karl wrote on December 9.

The video showed Jerick receiving a small paper bag labeled “PC SET”, and he appeared momentarily disappointed by its size for comedic effect.

He was then encouraged to open the bag, revealing a pack of

Pancit Canton instant noodles.

The reveal prompted Jerick to collapse onto the floor as his companions laughed boisterously.

“T*E*A CLICKBAIT, HAHAHA,” he

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PC SET,” another

“PC” is an acronym that commonly stands for “Personal Computer”, a device—either a desktop or laptop—used for personal purposes such as browsing, gaming, or work.

Pancit Canton, on the other hand, is a type of packed instant noodles. Some people simply call it “Canton.” It is not typically referred to by an acronym.
