The differences in Filipino and
Australian behavioral norms affecting business and social relationships can be
summarized.
Frank and Candid vs. Vague and Ambiguous
Australians openly express opinions
and ideas about the issue under discussion, or on the opinions of others;
Filipinos use euphemisms to express opinions and will not disagree openly.
Mateship vs. Pakikisama
Australians only feel the need to
band together and depend on each other in times of adversity; Filipinos share
gains and losses with the extended family.
Australian consider it a right to use the services of government institutions to care for the aged and handicapped; Filipinos feel obligated to care for their aged parent, especially as there are few government institutions to provide this services.
