Helpfulness
If you are in Santo Tomas or anywhere around the town especially on the main road, be very careful when you are walking along. Jeepneys and buses and all other public transport's driving speed is unbelievable! Most drivers do not follow the required speed limit, and nowhere you can find a Sign to this effect. I lived in this town for many years and still I have to check the oncoming vehicle frequently while walking because accident happens more often than normal. This is a must, I am telling you.
