Behind The Scenes: From A Blind Date To The Peak

Chapter 404 Tradition “Seeking Customization”

Cabarogan City!

Not a big city.

The number one city in the Philippines is naturally Manila.

In fact, Manila is a large area. It is the combination of the original Manila City, Quezon City, Caloocan City, Pasay City, and 17 municipalities such as Makati, forming the current Manila. Metropolis, the first district of the country.

The second city is Cebu, also translated as Cebu, second only to Manila, which is also the main port and economic center of the Philippines.

Cebu is the earliest developed city in the Philippines. In the 16th century, Magellan sailed from Spain to Central and South America, and he was pleasantly surprised to discover this beautiful and quiet island on the way.

Cebu is located in the center of the Visayas Islands, with a population of 1.8 million and consisting of 167 islands. It is the second channel connecting the Philippines with the international community.

Surrounded by the Philippine Islands and interspersed with palm-fringed fishing villages, Cebu is the central island of the Visayas.

Cebu City, located on the north coast of Cebu Island, is the oldest city in history that Manila cannot match.

Due to its location in the central part of the Philippines, Cebu City is the main international flight center of the Philippines, and it is also the most important commercial, trade and industrial center in Visayas and Mindanao, known as the Queen City of the South.

Cebu is also a highly developed commercial and industrial center, and Cebu also has the largest copper mine in Southeast Asia.

The third city of the Philippines is Davao, also translated as Davao, which is also the largest city and port in the southern part of the Philippines, and an important economic center of the Philippines.

Davao is the largest port and economic center of Mindanao in the southern part of the Philippines, and the national abaca processing center.

It is located on the west bank of Davao Bay, southeast of Mindanao, at the mouth of the Davao River.

And now the city of Gan in Cabaro, like other small cities in the Philippines.

There are not many high-rise buildings here, and the local situation is chaotic and management is not in place.

The whole city looks a bit messy, with houses built without permission.

Wu Chen didn’t care either. In his opinion, as long as there were no gun battles in the city, it would be fine.

There have been many bang incidents here, and the safety issue is the first issue here.

Wu Chen himself was not afraid. This time when Yun came, everyone brought guns, and Xu Fanchang also arranged for people to take precautions.

As long as self (bdca) is targeted, he will know immediately.

Wu sat in the car and walked all the way to see the past.

At this moment, he is completely dressed as a tourist, wearing clothes and sunglasses, and he looks almost like a local, except for flip-flops on the soles of his feet.

Filipinos here like to wear slippers.

Wear it for walking!

Wear it for work!

Wear it for cycling!

It is said that this is related to the fact that the Philippines is located in the tropics.

It is hot and humid all year round, and people here have a tradition of wearing slippers.

Slippers are always the undisputed protagonist in high-end shopping malls, brand-name shoe stores or street stalls selling shoes.

Of course, the Filipinos also have many local customs.

Like Philippine time!

Filipinos have their own time setting.

If you live in the Philippines, the Filipinos will tell you that there is a lunch at noon today!

Then you’d better go after 1:30 or even 2:00, because according to the Philippine time, the custom here is generally 30 minutes to an hour later than the agreed time.

So don’t be surprised if you have an appointment with a Filipino here and they are late every time.

The other party doesn’t mean to neglect you, it’s their Philippine time at work.

Although more and more Filipinos have realized this in recent years and are trying to change it.

But most Filipinos are still known for so-called Philippine time.

Filipinos also have a habit of not saying “no”!

Filipinos do not like outright rejection or denial, which often confuses foreigners.

In general, Filipinos don’t like the feeling of opposition, and many will avoid saying “no” at all costs

0

Filipinos tend to give excuses like maybe, well, we’ll see, and I’ll try.

This confuses many foreigners who are not familiar with it.

So, if you invite a Filipino to a party and he says I’ll try to go, 80 percent of the time he won’t do it.

The secret is to pay attention to the words they answer and the tone of voice they speak.

Not agreeing is tantamount to refusal.

When Filipinos eat, they use spoons instead of knives!

Usually in the habit of using a fork, a knife will appear in the general package.

In the Philippines, however, a knife is not used unless the meat is cut very large.

Usually a spoon is held in the right hand and a fork in the left.

For example, when eating some food that needs to be cut, the spoon will be used as a knife to cut the food.

It is said that this culture began in the era of Spanish administration. There is a saying that Spanish administrators forced Filipinos to use spoons instead of knives to prevent people from revolting.

Wu Chen sat in the car and walked for a while, and found that there were people gathered on the side of the road.

Unlike in China, Filipinos don’t really like to watch the fun.

With so many people gathered, something must have happened.

Wu Chen has already come to Kabalogan City, and he is not in a hurry to inquire about the Chinese.

He stopped the car with a slightly curious expression as if he were a tourist.

Wu Chen got out of the car, and Ji Changkong stayed by his side as usual.

The two slowly walked around the place where they gathered.

As they got closer, they found that the whipping was being carried out here!

The punished knelt on a makeshift wooden platform, each handcuffed.

Behind them, someone is holding a whip!

The whip is not too long, a little thick, but still looks quite scary.

If this is drawn on the body, the skin must be broken.

Many countries in Southeast Asia have this kind of whipping, which is also said to be used to deter wrongdoers.

This is much more serious than being put in prison. Thinking of being whipped, many people make mistakes and will seriously consider it.

The Filipinos who watched the flogging around them were used to it, and they probably got used to it after they had seen it a lot.

Wu Chen listened to everyone’s comments. Those people on the stage are usually petty thieves, or liars, and those who owe their debts and so on.

If at home, these people should be locked up for a few days, or not at all.

But in the Philippines, caning is mandatory.

? This is also a tradition in the Philippines!
