About the removing the shoes comments, yes, Filipino visitors are accustomed on removing the shoes before entering a house. It is a sign of respect, kinda like synonymous to Japanese (for what i know Japanese removes their shoes/slippers too right?) But if you are in a different country (aside fr. Phil.) I think it is understandable not to take off your shoes. BUT, still sometimes it helps taking off your shoes when your a filipino guy visiting your filipina girlfriend on making a good impresssion to her parents and grandparents at home ^-^ -

On Shoes also - i agree that members of most households in the rural areas are removing the shoes before entering their homes, but if the guest is not removing them, the hosts will not tell them to do so, because it is considered rudeness, and not conforming to the hospitality norm.

Some households don't require guests to remove their shoes before going into the house. If the host insists on your removing shoes before entering, do so.

In the Filipino home, you should start the conversation. If you look shy, the host will feel you don't appreciate them. Also, in some homes, stand next to the chair until the hostess or host asks you to take a seat.

My experience is that they love to have their picture taken - at every occasion. Especially you have a digital camera, don't refuse it. Just take a picture (or two) and print it later for your host. They will be very grateful and appreciative.

On New Years Eve, it is customary for the whole family to have money in their hands as the clock strikes midnight, with the hopes to better themselves and their families. They do this by also not cutting your rice noodles when making your pancit (hopes for long life for your family).

Some Filipinos may interpret you accepting food on the first offer as being greedy, so as a rule of thumb accept on the second offer. If they don't reoffer, that shows that they really didn't want to be hospitable.
