Filipinos tend to dress modestly in public. Try not to show too much skin when you are with a lot of people. Wear a proper fit when you are invited to someone else's big occasion (avoid t-shirts, shorts, and sandals). They respect the elderly and those who have higher status. You can greet the elderly, then the younger ones. This also means you can smile when you meet Filipinos and they will do the same in return! Also, take off your shoes/sandals when entering someone's house.
