Babydamulag:So, the idea that good service gets a tip is a valid premise to determine the "level" of service a DM/staff provides. Typically, we leave a $100 US bill for the staff and each DM a 1000 pesos for each dive guide worth their salt. From time to time we also host a lechon Bar-B-QUE for the entire staff. I am amazed at how far a little kindness goes in the world. We need to let our fellow divers know that it is a "good" thing to tip and provide the staff extras. So, next time while in duty free.....pick up the staff something and show up with a gift. The kindness you show goes a loooooong way at home in the Philippines.
it's more of a token of appreciation really, the new friendships forged is far more valuable
