I began a long distance relationship with a filipina, I USA, which is a great place to learn ..
about common customs and mannerisms of people living in the Philippines? I want to not make a fool of myself, or much worse, hurt the feelings of a person not incidentally, when I go see him. He will remain in Tacloban City, if there is a difference in the region of the Philippines about the usage (except language spoken). So many good answers. I appreciate the time you all have given me.
Do not sweat it too much. Be super-respectful to parents, aunts, uncles, etc., and you mastered the customs thing. Do not sweat the language, most Filipinos speak English. The Children learn English in school, although as everywhere, there are some things that lean toward using local so the translation is not exactly 100%. Filipinos know nearly much about America as we do. They see American TV, follow the American trends, etc. to their TV quiz shows ask about half the questions about the USA. Filipinos tend to think all Americans are rich. But they do not understand how much it takes to live in the United States. If his family is poor, you are expected pay fees for any work of family gathering. FOOD FOR thought: 1. ONLY use the airport taxi. Located within the terminal building next to the only place the baggage claim. They quote you a price to your destination early, and they record the taxi number, etc. safer and cheaper than outside the terminal. 2. The Manila terminal near overnight, so do not expect to be waiting in overnight. 3. Often, you can not get near an airport unless you Tickets are currently daily. 4. Expect that when searched by entering a mall. 5. Expect to pay for use of public bathrooms, but NOT Expect toilet paper or running water them. Good luck
