What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Angeles City?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Angeles City if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Angeles City. It is considered rude to point with your index finger, so it is best to use an open hand when gesturing. It is also important to dress modestly, as revealing clothing may be seen as disrespectful. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and customs, and to be respectful of religious beliefs. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid any activities that may be considered illegal. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local people and their culture, and to be mindful of any cultural differences," said a member in Angeles City, Philippines.
