Translation of "pagdating" into English

Pero pagdating doon ng kaibigan ko, agad niyang nakita na iba ang kapaligiran doon kaysa inaasahan niya.

When my friend arrived, however, he quickly realized that the atmosphere was not what he had expected.

Isinalin ito ng ilang salin bilang “pagparito,” “pagdating,” o “pagbabalik,” na pawang nagpapahiwatig ng isang panandaliang pangyayari.

Some translations render it “coming,” “advent,” or “return,” all of which imply a momentary event in time.
