Book review on Business Traveller Asia - Pacific

Business Traveller Asia-Pacific July/August 2009 issue (Joshua Tan):

"Understanding the culture, traditions and etiquette of a country can be difficult, and as much as we try, the danger of stepping over a cultural or social boundary is ever present. Etiquette Guide to the Philippines covers wide-ranging topics that make up over 32 chapters, including the Filipino language, the process of dating, courtship and engagement, how to bid farewell and the importance of saving face.

This book is a result of the authors' love for their country, which shows in the details the book goes into, albeit in a bite-sized 128-page package."
