Filipino loves FOOD!

by arni_ph075

Filipino loves Eating and its a major part of daily life. We eat 5 times a day. Breakfast, merienda, lunch, afternoon merienda, dinner. Sometimes with midnight snacks :-) All meals if possible should have rice. Any guest that arrive on our homes, we will offer the best meals, usually our lspecialty dish even if guest arrive without notice. Its a habit that any guest that arrive should be offered a meal or snacks. Filipino cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, Chinese and American. The staples are fish, vegetables, pork and chicken. Rice of course. Beef is not that popular, aside from being expensive, locals dont like the strong smell. Lechon (roasted pig) is served on special occassion, prime dish and every one like it. Adobo be it pork or chicken (cooked with soy sauce and vinegar) is the widely popular regular dish, authentic Filipino food. Every region in the country got specialty dish and...

Language

by arni_ph075

The country got two official languages,Tagalog (politically correct term is Filipino) and English. Filipino is originally the language only of Manila and its nearby provinces, but now since it was taught in schools nationwide, its incorporated on other dialects across the country. Very high majority of the Filipinos speak fluent Tagalog, English and a dialect of his home province. Some of the local dialects are Cebuano,Waray,Bicolano, Ilocano,Kapampangan and Ilongo.And on each dialect, like Bicolano, there are sub dialects..like Bicol Naga, Bicol Legaspi..and the terms they use are very different, yet they understand each other..Another evolving language is .. Taglish, is the term coined for Tagalog English languange that is now popularly used on most urban areas. English is the official language in commerce, government and laws, and taught in schools. During my school days, all subjects...

Money Matters: Cash, Credit Cards

by arni_ph075

Currency is the Philippine Peso, prevailing exchange rate is P60 to US$1. The exchange rate is on the upswing, as there are financial problems being faced by the govt. It is always recommended to exchange money on licensed money changers found in the malls and of course at the banks.Banco de Oro is the bank that offer a very good exchange rate compared to other banks. SM malls FOREX also offer good rates. There are also fake bills, (very seldom)so be wary of receiving change of bills with denomination of 500 and 1000 bills.Most traveller's checks are accepted in banks, but it should be on almost perfect condition.Visa, Mastercard,are widely accepted in most establishments, you will see on the entrance of stores, the logos of the 2 card company. American Express on the otherhad is not widely accepted, thus prior purchase always ask if they accept Amex even if it says it accept credit...

Culture of the Filipino, Languages and Religion

by mlt_t

Culture of the FilipinosLike most Asians, the Filipino is greatly attached to their family, are clannish, and hold their elders in high esteem or obeisance. Hospitable and generous to their fault, and will spend their last peso to feed and entertain a guest in their home.LanguagesOfficial languages are Tagalog, English and Spanish, with some 87 dialects spoken in the country. Filipino is the national language but English is the key medium for professional transactions. The old elite speaks Spanish.ReligionFilipinos is deeply religious in a ritualistic and folksy way. Today, Filipinos are primarily Catholic in a way that delicately combines the old methods of relating to some of supernatural beliefs.

"The welcome never wears out"

by mlt_t

If the Philippines in Southeast Asia, it is because of the remarkable ability of its people to accept and integrate/ digest foreign culture influences and then think and behave in a manner that can be called Filipino. Here are some brief tips of my country just read on and enjoy to learn more about my country and people.

Philippines - Do come to the Philippines…

by mlt_t

the pearl of the Orient Seas…and where Asia wears a smile…Filipinos have long been noted being a smiling people. A native person of my country is quick to burst into song. We Filipinos are of such sunny disposition/ character and we have our own lively sense of humor. And that Philippines was concerned, the people, more than the scenery perhaps. It is best resource to manage their smile through it all.

Getting to know about Filipinos

by mlt_t

Filipinas. It was the name given by 16th century Spanish explorers to two Islands in the midst of an emerald string of isles studding the westernmost rim of the Pacific Ocean. The named as coined in honor of Crown Prince Philip of Spain who ironically never saw nor set foot on any of the coveted 7,107 isles that eventually were all called Philippines of Pilipinas. Then as now, blessed with a temperate climate, sprawling beaches, incomparable coral gardens, spectacular sunsets, pastoral lands and a warm, hospitable people.

Think and observe...This is what many think is the Marcoses' mansion in the Visayas though Imelda, who is a native of Leyte, built this more as a Museum than a vacation house. She called it 'Sto. Niño Shrine' because it houses the Sto. Niño which Imelda Marcos brought from Italy as a demonstration of her piety. In truth, this museum is further proof of Imelda's extravagance. It is a sequestered property and is being maintained by the Philippine Commission for Good Government (PCGG).

Warm and friendly people..always with a smile.

by mickshe

In general..we are known for our hospitality and you will never have a problem communicating to people since our second language here is english.If you want to go to a short get away from the city of Manila and you are coming to Philippines for business or a short trip, there is one place you can relax and enjoy your stay more..Villa Escudero..its in south of Luzon, an hour or two from Manila..you can take a bus or rent a car.

Paradise for you and your pocket

by TRAVELCHICK29

one other reason why Philippines is a tropical paradise: everything here is cheap. If you're a Westerner, your dollars or euros can go very far. $1 is to about 55pesos. Lots of bargains you can find here so do some shopping.
