5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book on understanding Philippine culture., 5 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This book, by far,is the best book written on understanding the culture and customs of the Phiippines. I have travelled extensively in the islands as well as being married to a Filapina. This book brought me insights and understanding that had till now eluded me. The knowledge in this book has improved my relationship with my wife and her family. There are things in this book that just can't be learned. I highly reccomend it to anyone who is about to travel to or live in the Philipines or is planning to marry a Filapina. Well worth the modest price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes! So true!, 18 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This book is a well written introduction to the culture of the Philippines. I was born and raised in the US but my ethnic background is Filipino and I am fluent in Tagalog. I didn't think I would need to prepare for the trip to the Philippines. I could not have been more incorrect. Unfortunately for me, I read this book after my trip. Roces and Roces clearly explain the idiosyncrasies of the Filipino culture without insulting Filipino people. I recommend this book to anyone who will embark on a trip to the Philippines. One piece of advice: read the book *before* the trip not after!

2.0 out of 5 stars anti American, 29 Jul 2004
By A Customer
this author does not represent the thoughts of most filipinos. A lot of Filipinos are pro-American and would resent, as I do, the anti-American sentiments of this author insinuated or seemingly, benignly incorporated in this book.
