 (Precious)The Philippines is the home of Filipinos who are known to be one of the most

hospitable individuals in the world! Filipinos are often shy yet are polite and respectful

when talking with someone. Some of the Filipino cultural communication modes are

having good eye contact unlike other culture that prohibits any eye contact with the

person their talking with, Filipinos tend to focus while communicating and refrain from

interrupting others, and pay closer attention to the meaning conveyed by posture,

expression, and tone of voice. 

(Nino)When working with Filipino employees, it’s important to remember that their

communication style is high-context. That means the person on the receiving end of a

message must read between the lines to fully understand what’s being said. It’s essential

to look for non-verbal cues, like body language and facial expressions, as well as what

they say directly. Filipinos don’t always make their intentions clear when speaking and will

often wait for other people to figure out what they mean instead of saying it outright.

(NINO) INFORMAL-Filipinos usually communicate indirectly and observe both physical

and personal space this is for them to maintain peace among their coworkers, they are

considerate of others' sentiments when conversing and refrain from being combative.they

often skirt around an issue rather than address it head-on, making it difficult for

Westerners to understand what they’re saying exactly or why they’re saying it.However,

this is a huge part of Filipino culture, so when you’re talking to them, words such as
“maybe” can mean they disagree, but in a gentle manner. Business owners and

colleagues have to adjust to this communication style by taking a direct or indirect

approach. The difference between the two is that a direct approach relies on effective and

short messages while indirect focuses more on a polite message, which is related to the

concept of “saving face.”When speaking with them, you should also be prepared for long

pauses between phrases or sentences. Filipinos are very thoughtful people who take the

time to process their thoughts before speaking.

(PRECIOUS)FORMAL COMMUNICATION-.Filipinos typically address hierarchy and

authority in the workplace, as this is deeply embedded into their culture. This means that

they tend not only to avoid conflict but also rank employees according to seniority and

status within the organization. Filipinos use po and opo, “ma’am” and “sir” often in

conversations, which can feel off-putting for most Westerners who are used to more

casual forms of address like first names or nicknames.

Collectivist and Face culture

(PRECIOUS) Filipinos lean toward collectivism, where the group comes before individual

interests. This comes from the concept of family, where the family’s needs are prioritized

over the individual’s.

(NINO)Face culture is a way of communicating that emphasizes the importance of

maintaining appearances. It’s a phenomenon specific to Filipino culture and has much to

do with relationships. It’s about building a sense of self through the eyes of others based

on respect, humility, and harmony. The Filipino communication style in the workplace is

characterized by indirectness, politeness, and an emphasis on saving face. They’ll be

polite and respectful of others’ feelings when communicating and avoid being

confrontational to preserve harmony among their coworkers.

(PRECIOUS)The Philippines, home to one of the best tourist destinations in the world

where people has a warm heart in welcoming numerous culture has also its own way of

cultural mode of communication, Filipinos at work as coworkers may be a little bit shy but

can build strong relationship among their peers as they are respectfully and

polite. Nothing beats more than a coworker who is understanding and respectful, Filipinos

serve the best with all their heart and dedication.Filipino communication styles vary from

those of other cultures, which is a fact that some may find off-putting at first. But with a

little effort and imagination, it’s possible to get along with them just fine. The key is
