Mindful meoweler tips

Respect the local customs and traditions

As a sign of respect, cover your head when entering any place of worship, and remove your shoes before entering. Filipinos greet each other with a smile or nod, and preferably use the traditional 'mano' gesture (placing the back of the right hand on the forehead of the other person, while slightly bowing) to show respect to elders.

Try the local cuisine

Urdaneta is known for its delicious longganisa (local sausage), bagnet (crispy pork belly), and other traditional Filipino dishes. Don't forget to try the sweet treats like leche flan and sapin-sapin.

Bargain when shopping at the public market

For a fun shopping experience, head to the public market where you can find everything from fresh produce to souvenirs. Be prepared to bargain with the vendors and enjoy the bustling atmosphere.
