- Traveling only by taxicabs - While taxis are convenient, they aren’t the best transportation option if you’re on a budget, given the country's notoriously bad traffic.
- Not interacting with the locals - Some foreigners don’t communicate with the locals because of the language barrier. But, Filipinos generally know how to speak basic English. They are used to foreigners coming in and out, so there’s really no problem communicating with them.
- Not knowing Filipinos’ customs and culture - You don’t have to know everything about their culture, but it pays to do at least a quick research about it.
