it's correct kabayan means fellow countrymen. we usually use this when we talk to strangers. when we don't know their names. like when you ask for directions. non-filipinos should not be calling us kabayan. but then people are use to this so it's okay. it feels funny but it acceptable.

mare is an address for to women

pare is an address for men

this is being used my married couples to fellow married couples. but no one is prohibited to use it.

It means

"My fellow countryman"...

Other nation shouldn't call us Filipino

Kabayan because it's so illogical for them to use that word for as we are not from the same country.

They can call us "Pare" but not "Kabayan".
