Editing Gratuity (section)

Tipping is not customary in most areas and is not generally expected.

In upscale restaurants, if a service charge is added, tipping is not needed nor expected.  Among smaller side street restaurants, service charge is usually not included and tip amount may vary from loose changes to not at all (most do not give tips). The customer in this case can give any amount he/she wishes.

Fastfood areas (McDonald's, Jollibee, Popeyes, etc.) are not tipping locations and staffs are reluctant to accept money.

Hotels bellboys are generally provided tips but amount is not fixed and may depend on the customer. Taxis are not provided tips but customer may pay extra to avoid loose change (usual range of 10 to 30 pesos). App based vehicles (Grab etc.) are usually paid tips via app and therefore under the discretion of the customer.

There are establishments that strictly implement a "No tipping policy".

There are establishments that can accept tips but must be placed in designated tipping containers.
