- Learn
the basics of Filipino body language, most of it quite
distinctive to the country. Lifting the eyebrows without
smiling means 'no', but lifting them while smiling
is a customary greeting for a friend.
- Don't
point with your finger as this is considered rude.
Filipinos often use pursed lips to point or indicate
a direction.
- Don't
arrive early for a social occasion. It is considered
polite to arrive half an hour late, although in general
the more important the guest the later he or she arrives.
On the other hand always arrive on time for a business
meeting, or formal appointment.
- Tip
when you receive a service. Taxi fares should be rounded
up and hotel staff tipped a few pesos while waiters/waitresses
expect 10-15 per cent.
- Don't
lose your temper or raise your voice in a dispute
- public displays of anger will seldom get you what
you want. Furthermore there is a very high rate of
gun-ownership in Manila and provoking angry confrontations
is not a good idea!
- Do
check whether prices are being quoted in Dollars or
Pesos before you sign anything or agree to a price.
