Philippino people

I   We found the people here universally open and friendly. Everybody had a ready smile on their faces,  I suspect the low stress lifestyle here helps. The various provinces speak mutually unintelligible languages, English is the official language  binding these spread out island provinces together . 

    The staff at the hotel works 7 days a week. The work hours for Lisa, our wonderful waitress, are 6 AM till 10 PM. These hardworking people make Americans look lazy. 

  This country is very Catholic,  ( 95% ), every  tiny village has a church. Our hotel owner, David,  ( from Scotland ) said Philippinos, by nature,  are non confrontational. We enjoyed our visit to this beautiful island.
