How to greet People from Philippines?
Don't be too worried. The people of the Philippines are very used to English words. If you are just saying hello to just say hello, then hel-lo, use "hello". The same is true for saying Good Morning, Good Afternoon, etc. If you are trying to impress someone, then say "Kumusta kayo." It's pronounced /kɘ - mu:s - ta: ka: - yo:/
Remember that everything you read in Tagalog is phonetic. Try to sound it out the way you see it. Thepronunciation of vowels are harder than the American accent but softer than the British accent. All the vowels are unrounded except for /o/.
If you want to learn Tagalog (the Philippine national language) you can learn from a book, CD, or someone you know
If you're talking to someone who's older than you or has a higher position than you, don't forget to add"po"Where to add it in the sentence depends. Substitute "opo" for "o'o"(yes).
If you get stuck and don't know what to say, speak in English, since most Filipinos can understand it. But if you wanna impress them, then go ahead and study the language
