Filipinos are the most hospitable person...true?

that depends on how you look at it. Offering something when you yourself is living in a hand-to-mouth subsistence isn't always right. Family comes first, so when my family visit, I'll go out of my way to prepare the best meal and entertainment for them. I don't earn much, so I don't see a point asking someone if s/he wants to partake in my dinner or lunch. But I'd sure ask him/her if s/he eats if s/he was a family or friend. If s/he says she doesn't have a cent to her name, I'll gladly share my food with her/him. It's good to be hospitable if within your budget. You can't expect everybody to understand that you're just asking if they already eaten, when you tell them, "Let's eat." Maybe thoughfulness is the word to describe us Filipinos.

yeah they are hospitable in a right way. but i have also heard that people from north pole are hospitable in a way that they even let their husbands or wives to sleep beside you just to keep you warm.

My son and I went to Hongkong (twice) and Macau and we saw the hospitality shown by our fellow Filipinos. We didn't know anybody and we had not much money to spend. In Hongkong, when we arrived there at night and we intended to spend the night just anywhere (like Luneta), a Filipina approached us and told us that the police will arrest us and so she guided us to somewhere where we may spend the night (writings are all in Chinese so we can't understand even if we wanted to go to a hotel) LOL! Many Filipinos helped us. When we went to Hongkong for the second time we proceeded to Macau without knowing anybody again, there were many Filipinos at the port and somebody took us to their house. PLS don't do what we have done, that's just luck perhaps and God did not forsake us. We really had no money but for our 5-day stay there from Hongkong to Macau, we spent only for one meal - Filipinos took care of our lodging and meals. I'm so grateful that Filipinos are hospitable and I hope that they will continue to be so. God commands people to be hospitable.

I have heard this from several sources. I have never been to the Philippines, but might have to go there to find out. I have also heard that Filippinos make excellent wives. It sounds like a real nice country.

definitely coz I am one of the filipino you are talking about. hahahaha!

I am a filipino and I agree that we are hospitable.. When you're not from the philippines or your a filipino and you're vsiting someone's place for a vacation in another part of the Philippines and then the owner of the house doesn't have a guest room they would offer there room for you and they sleep in the living room. Filipinos love to offer and would assist you in any way they can. But still others are not. You know what? Some homes keep their best kitchen wares and when they have visitors they use those plates,utensils,and glasses.

yeah i agree. not that i'm a filipino but i see the way we treat visitors, we respect them and treat them like they are part of the family. i'm so happy that others appreciate that. long live filipinos!

you're right.That's why foreigners are really like to take vacation here in Philippines.

Youre right, tama ka dyan, I'm australian now but never forget our culture. and my-inlaws love me for being pilipino. in return she always shot me ticket going holiday back home.our habit of very hospitable and very generous in own way makes her like our peole more. she had very high regards to our fellowpilipinos.In my house I will treat you anything no appiontmemt necessary..You will always be welcome.

yes. we filipino are REALLY HOSPITABLE. we cannot deny this fact. we have to be proud of it.

Yes! Not just because I'm a proud pinoy but it's really true. I worked with a lot of non-Filipinos lately, in Manila and around the globe. They do say that we Filipinos have a different sense when it comes to hospitality. But not only Filipinos are like this; even the Costa Ricans are very hospitable. :) Moreover, not only are Filipinos hospitable but we are a happy race. Even if we're having problems in the Philippines or Filipinos having problems in our neighbor countries, we still get the chance to smile and smile back. Not to mention making a humurous idea out of it. ;)

yup we are very hospitable since immemorable times so we have been subjected in spain's colonization, american and japanese occupation which i learned in our Philippine History.
