DATING IN THE PHILIPPINES

DATING IN THE PHILIPPINES IS DONE IN GROUPS RATHER THAN INDIVIDUAL.
WHEN A MAN WANTS TO COURT SOMEONE HE WILL HIRE A SINGER WITH A
GUITAR OR ELSE HE WILL SING. HE GOES TO THE GIRL'S HOUSE AND
SERANADES HER. IF THE GIRL WANTS HIM SHE WILL OPEN THE WINDOW AND
LET HIM IN, OTHERWISE SHE WILL GO TO THE DOOR AND INVITE HIM IN.
THIS IS CALLED HAVANA.
