The tipping culture in the Philippines depends upon the situation. The practice is growing in popularity and small gratuities may be expected. Service charges of at least 10% can be expected in upscale restaurants and bars. The focus of doing business in the Philippines is on building a stable relationship with business partners. Filipinos are known to be very hospitable, and business is therefore generally conducted in a relaxed manner.
