What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Davao?

"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Davao. It is considered rude to point with your index finger, so it is best to use an open hand when gesturing. It is also important to dress modestly, as showing too much skin can be seen as disrespectful. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and customs, and to be respectful of local beliefs and traditions. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid engaging in any activities that may be considered illegal," commented one expat who made the move to Davao, Philippines.
