i mean how im supposed to deal with everybody

Just be good to everyone but at the same time cautious. Start to have a close small group of friends in your office. But don't mess with and piss off Cebuanos.hehe.

Dont: If you don't know how to speak cebuano, dont talk in tagalog at a very high pitch/tone that even a man sleeping 500 meters away could hear you. You dont come as socialite if you talk in tagalog, obnoxious at best. Every now and then, try to insert a word or two of cebuano, cebuanos will be glad to hear you trying hard to talk in the native tongue.
