  • Pro Tip Standard business calls are best between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Cebuanos are exceptionally polite and friendly. The tech and BPO sectors operate on global schedules, but for local offices, stick to standard times. Avoid overly blunt language and maintain a warm, polite tone.

  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The 12-2 PM lunch window is very important; avoid calling then. Best times are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM. While Cantonese is the local language, Mandarin is the business standard for non-locals. Pragmatism and efficiency are highly valued in this major trade hub.
