Provincial Coffee Madness: Experiencing Filipino Hospitality
There was a time when I was new in Roxas, Palawan I had about 5 cups of coffee in a span of 5 hours.
How did this happen?
I went with the family that I was living with to go around the different houses around the area so that I would be familiar with the neighbors. For every house that we visit we would talk with people living there and they would always offer coffee.
Why didn’t you say no?
It wasn’t offered by asking. The cup and coffee essentials was placed in front of me and then water was poured into the cup! They already did the effort and to return their kind gesture I would take the cup, mix my coffee powder and sugar, and drink coffee with them.
