The Tausug people of the Philippines follow formal greetings and farewells, typically beginning with handshakes between the eldest. They get attention through gentle downward motions rather than pointing. Appreciation for help is shown, while the left hand is reserved for hygiene due to Islamic beliefs. Tausug men enjoy gambling and protect both immediate family and their entire clan, seeing their role as protectors as foremost which explains their affinity for guns. Small gifts are brought as thanks for hospitality.
