    If you want to visit the Philippines, first thing you will do is to communicate its people. How to communicate its people? Well, I’ll give you some tips. Filipino people are very hospitable and considerate . Po and opo is a common word in the Philippines to show respect to elderly, you should use that if you went to the Philippines so that they will be glad that you know that word already and now they will treat you as Filipino. ''Po'' is used to show respect when speaking or called by someone older or a person with authority and ''Opo'' is used to answer questions that has something to do with actions. Some of the most common words for showing respect in a Filipino household are po and opo. Both basically mean "yes" in a respectful way, rather than just saying oo, or yes normally. 

    Filipinos love to talk even some Filipinos are not fluent in english they will try their best to communicate with you. Filipinos love it when a foreigner makes the effort to learn the language. Saying simple “thank you “ or ‘’salamat’’ in the Philippines is a big deal, it will fuel their motivation to communicate with you. 

    Now, I will teach you some tagalog words that you can use in communicating the people here, these are the most common words that has been used here in the Philippines, ‘’Saan’’ in english ‘’where’’, ‘’magkano’’ if you will asking price, ‘’gutom’’ when you are hungry, ‘’uhaw’’ when you are thirsty and there is many more. I hope this will help you and don’t hesitate to learn more tagalog words because there are many Filipinos that will help you here in learning new language.

Philippines is a home of different cultures. When you are here, you will meet different people. I would like to inform you that Philippines is divided in many islands and every island has culture. You must prepare yourself to meet different filipinos. Though we are diverse from different cultures but  we are all united here.

You will adjust easily when you are here because the locals will help you. Hence, It is easy to communicate and to have conversation with the people of the Philippines, you are very welcome here, the Filipino people are ready to welcome you.
