Boholanos are generally friendly people, don’t be surprised if they smile at you. Smile back and win their hospitality.
Children are naturally curious about camera-toting strangers. Ask them to pose for you and let them see their pictures. You will win their parent’s warm hospitality.
Children can be curious about your food. Share something with them. I gave the hotdogs from my hotel’s packed breakfast to our cook’s kid and her eyes glistened. Of course, her mother warmed up and gave me discount in her cooking charge.
At Balicasag Island, the fisherman’s wife can cook lunch for you. Don’t expect 5-star service in the island. But you can expect 5-star customer relations if you’re not bossy, but kind to her.
Souvenir peddlers at the island are open to haggling for discounts. If you’re nice to them, you might yet receive a free give-away. 2 vendors gave me friendship bands, and they personally put them on my ankle.
