🇹🇼 A Friendly Reminder for All OFWs and Migrants in Taiwan
This serves as a gentle reminder for all Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and migrants in Taiwan to respect and follow local laws, customs, and traditions. Living and working abroad is not just about hard work—it’s also about showing good values and representing our country with pride.
Here are some important reminders:
-
Respect Taiwanese traditions and strictly observe all laws and regulations.
-
Show appreciation to the elderly—complimenting their health is always welcomed.
-
Do not be discouraged if locals appear reserved; it’s part of their culture.
-
Stay calm and composed in all situations.
-
Avoid pointing with your finger; use an open hand instead, as pointing is considered impolite.
-
Refrain from touching children’s hands, as some Taiwanese believe it brings bad luck.
-
Keep your emotions in check—avoid excessive display of feelings in public.
-
Do not wink at anyone; it is viewed as inappropriate, even among friends.
-
Always be polite and modest; humility is highly valued in Taiwan.
-
Learn basic Chinese phrases to improve communication and daily interactions.
-
Always carry your Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) wherever you go.
Let’s continue to show the world the good attitude, respect, and discipline that Filipinos are known for.
Be reminded, and be refreshed, Pinoys! 🇵ðŸ‡
