Cebu Business Pulse

  • Culture Professional, hospitable, and a major BPO and tourism hub. Very Westernized professional tone.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • 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.

Sao Paulo Business Pulse

  • Culture Warm and relationship-oriented. Personal touch and face-to-face (or video) meetings are preferred over emails.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
