    HOSPITALITY, FILIPINO STYLE

    One of the most remarkable traits of Filipinos is their hospitality. It is a pattern of national behavior that unites them, yet sets
    them apart from other peoples.
    The Filipino host has a zealot’s eye for the needs and wishes of his guest; he spots them, anticipates them, and provides for
    them. A guest must want for nothing. Attention to a guest’s needs and wants becomes part of the host’s personal duty. The guest is
    waited on hand and foot, with heart-deep sincerity.
    The Philippines is perhaps the only country in the world where the host is indebted to his guest. The Filipino host smothers
    his guests with attention. Invited guests, unbidden guests, friends of friends, or perfect strangers are equally welcomed and regaled
    with very kind attention. Outside of a small family party, every Filipino party is a sort of open house where it is rude to inquire in
    advance if the invited guest is coming or not, or how many of them there would be. A host is expected to provide all contingencies: a
    guest may not come at all, or he may be accompanied by several relatives and friends and friends of his friends completely unknown to
    the host. Nothing pleases a Filipino host more than to be imposed upon.
    The guests are showered with food, drink, flattery, constant attention, and gifts to take home when they leave. Food is ladled
    on the guest’s plate to overflowing; drinks are served to him until they run out of his ears.
    However, it is expected of a guest to taste everything served even those he had never seen before. Sometimes it is best for a
    guest to take on a sampling of everything and leave them on his plate if he dislikes them.
    The Filipino host believes that guests should never be left unattended. He feels a sense of guilt if the guest is seemingly left
    unentertained and left alone by himself even for a short time, even if the guest prefers it that way.
    The “open house” hospitality of Filipinos is put to a test when they celebrate special occasions like town fiestas, baptisms,
    weddings, or “passing the bar examination” and the like.
