On my visits to the Philippines I did try to give either eye contact or a smile. Only those who were with either their wife or partner or friend would give me some eye contact and may say hi or smile etc…
But those that seemed to be alone seemed to be more reserved and sneaky. I noticed that these people would not look in my direction and always avoid eye contact but they gave a lot of eye contact to the females that walked near them mainly below the neck. But hey.
I was getting the idea that these guys were only here for the kind or things that wouldn’t be allowed in this country? But don’t get me wrong some may have just been arrogant or snobbish. But I know a few must have had dodgy intentions.
So if you are traveling to Philippines be friendly to your fellow travellers or they might think wrong of you. Hehehehe..
