We're pretty Americanized and aware of Western culture. But don't wear shoes in the house if they invite you over for dinner at a private residence.
Offer to help pay the bill if you guys go out to dinner. Even if they say no they got it, offer to help pay at least 2-3 more times.
Also you'll get major points if they invite you to karaoke afterwards and you sing, even if you're not good. It's the enthusiasm that counts.
Lastly, if in doubt, just ask. We're very easy going and friendly and will be more than happy to answer anything that comes up!
Offer to pay bill part seems pretty common across most Asian cultures! Hahaha
Filipinos are known to be pretty westernized and friendly.
Be upbeat, positive and polite and all will be well.
Try learning a couple basic Tagalog phrases to pull out in the middle of a meeting. "Kumusta po kayo," "amoy tae," "ako ay pangit" are a few that come to mind and will score major positive points.
You are wild. Tf 😂
If you buy us food, we good fam.
On the other side of it, we tend to be sensitive even in a work environment so direct criticisms might be taken personally . That is what I had to unlearn when I moved here in the US.

Is there anything in particular you’ve observed which you’d like to be more sensitive towards?

Be respectful toward all food they offer you. We tend to offer food out of respect and to help cultivate relationships. Offer to pay for the bill, be very thankful for everything. Bring/give small gifts from the US, preferably something from where you are from or shirts from a major sports team. Be careful with negative feedback, agreed with earlier comments they are very sensitive and we are major gossips. Overall though we are very westernized considering we were owned by Spain for 300 years and the the US after that.
