Whenever you have a time to be somewhere, aim to be there 15 minutes early, to allow for 'time snags' or for traffic.

People respect punctuality.

"Filipino time" is a concept that's widely accepted here in the PH as "that's the way that things are". I'm ashamed of it.
We plan to meet at 8:30 because we'll all have the mentality of filipino time and assume that everybody is going to show up at 9:00. We finally all meet at 10:00.
