A little courtesy goes a long way in the
Philippines. Filipinos are a very friendly and hospitable
people, sometimes even to a fault. Take the time to smile and say "thank
you", and you'll receive much better responses. You will receive an even
better response if you throw in a little Tagalog, such as "salamat",
which means "thank you". In the
countryside and in some urban homes, footwear is removed when entering a
home, though they may make an exception for foreigners. The key is to
look around before entering any home. If you see footwear just outside
the door, more than likely the family's practice is to remove footwear
before entering. If you wear socks, you need not remove them.
Filipinos are known for not being on time and it is acceptable to
come to gatherings a little bit late. However, being off by more than 30
minutes might be considered disrespectful.
