Hello everyone,

Customer service can say a lot about everyday life in the Philippines, and for many expats, it’s something that could take time to get used to. In order to help expats and soon-to-be expats to adjust to local expectations, we invite you to share your insights.

How would you describe customer service in the Philippines?

Are staff generally friendly and helpful, or more formal and direct?

How do businesses handle complaints or requests for refunds?

Do expats get treated differently than locals?

Any tips on how to get the best service in the Philippines?

Share your experiences and stories, whether positive, challenging or funny!

Thank you for your contribution.
