Philippines: Business Dress
From ExecutivePlanet.com
Business Dress
Although the “Barong Tagalog” (a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt worn without a tie) is often used by local businessmen during formal meetings, a good first impression by a foreigner can be made with a long-sleeved shirt with necktie. Wearing a suit might be a bit intimidating and would often be perceived as uncomfortable to wear in the Philippines primarily because of the climate/weather. Light suits and dresses are appropriate for women.
