## Culture

### Music

The music of New Batangas has been heavily influenced by the Filipino settlers. It has been described several times as "Experimental electro-fado".

### Architecture

Most buildings in New Batangas are high-density. There are very few standalone houses outside of Telabastagan. The buildings in the city can be categorized as internationalist.

### Cuisine

Nuevo Batangueño cuisine is basically the same as Filipino cuisine.

Rice is the staple grain of Filipino cuisine, making most dishes follow the standard format of rice + meat + sauce.

Noodles are also a significant staple.

### Transport

The use of private cars is discouraged in the city. Streets of the city are mostly filled with pedestrians, electric tricycles and hybrid jeepneys. The city tram line is in progress.

### Values

Nuevo Batangueño values are very hospitality and respect-oriented, based on Filipino values.

The most important and significant part of a Nuevo Batangueño's life is the family. People when they turn 18 aren't expected to move out. When a parents are old and no longer have the ability to take care for themself, they are cared for by their children and are almost never brought to elderly homes. The practice of separating the elderly from the family is very looked down upon in culture. Large meals with the extended family of more than 20, extending to third cousins, are not uncommon.

Visitors from outside often tell stories about how locals went above and beyond to assist them when they got lost or how generously they welcomed a guest into their house. ~~Either that or they got scammed by locals.~~
