Last December, I went to the Philippines to spend my Christmas vacation.
Whenever I go out with my family and friends, I always bring my white cane to let the people around me know that I am blind.
But it seems that they are not aware of this white cane because they only just stare at me whenever i pass by in front of them.
Here in Japan, whenever a person is walking with a white cane, people used to give way to the person passing by for him/her to can easily pass by the road. They also even help us(visually impared persons) on crossing the street, riding the train, or going up/down the stairs.
Cars and buses also stop whenever they saw people with awhite cane waiting for the right time to cross the street.

I hope those manners could also be done in the Philippines in the near future.
