Traditional courtship in the Philippines is described as a "far more subdued and indirect"[1] approach compared to Western or Westernized cultures. It involves "phases" or "stages" inherent to Philippine society and culture.[1][2] Evident in courtship in the Philippines is the practice of singing romantic love songs, reciting poems, writing letters, and gift-giving.[3] This respect extends to the Filipina's family members. The proper rules and standards in traditional Filipino courtship are set by Philippine society.[4]
