Living in the Philippines as an expat is a dream come true for some foreigners. Some expats feel that nature seems to be at the very doorstep like oceans, beaches, and mountains. The sun is always shining in the Philippines, which people will truly love. The Philippines is an English-speaking country in Asia where foreigners and expats are admired and respected.
The people of the Philippines adore expats who choose to live in their beautiful country. Most expats feel that they have become addicted to the smile, laughter, and sunshine from Filipinos making living in the Philippines a wonderful experience.
Expats may find that the beautiful smiles of the Filipinos are very attractive because they truly come from the heart. Being polite, attractive, and romantic are the main characteristics of the Filipinos. There are expats that choose to marry Filipinos and settle in the Philippines for good.
Generosity and hospitality is a huge part of the culture of the people of the Philippines, which expats will grow accustomed to. To enhance an expat’s living experiences in the Philippines, learning and knowing the Filipino culture is quite advisable.
The people of the Philippines are tolerant to culture and customs of different foreigners. An expat who hasn’t yet adapted to the Filipino culture may find the people curious and willing to accept whatever cultural practice. Filipinos generally understand that it is not easy to adapt the culture and customs of another country. A lot of Filipinos have been to other countries as overseas contract workers (or at least have a relative work abroad) and can empathise with an expat’s situation.
There are expats that consider the Philippines as a paradise to live in. The Philippines may be a third-world country but other expats see the Philippines as the richest in the world because of the beauty of the Filipino people coupled with the Filipino culture of sharing, happiness, and love.
There are even expats that help in promoting the Philippines as a fantastic place to visit and at times to live in as well. As an expat in the Philippines, you may feel wanted and needed by the Filipinos. If you feel lost in your own country, as an expat in the Philippines, you can never feel that way again.
There are multitudes of expats in the Philippines who are more than willing to help you. Filipinos can always lend a helping hand to anyone that needs to feel appreciated and wanted in the society.
Most expats share these same feelings as they settle in the Philippines. The feelings of happiness, joy, and contentment as they experience the hospitality and generosity of every Filipino.
