Customs and taboos in the Philippines

Smoking-free people in the Philippines have noticed. Philippine President Duterte urged the Philippines to ban smoking. Offenders will not only be fined, but also face jail in serious cases. Moreover, the Philippines continues to raise the tariff on cigarettes, which may be 10 yuan in other countries, and the price in the Philippines is twice as expensive. Remember: those who violate the smoking ban will be fined 5 million to 1 0,000 pesos (about 67 to 1 335 RMB), or even go to jail in serious cases.

Don't discuss these topics. When going to talk with people in the local area, we must avoid topics such as political disputes, religion and modern history of the Philippines. If there is a contradiction because of the topic you discussed, the consequences will be very serious. (

Taboo names in communication: Filipinos respect knowledgeable people very much. If you meet professors, doctors, doctors, lawyers, engineers and others, you should address them by their titles.
