A form of respect whether through words or action is quite expected. One honoring gesture performed usually to elders two to three generations older is called “mano” or “pagmamano.”
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The person giving the greeting bows toward the hand of the elder and presses their forehead on the elder’s hand. Every culture has a unique tradition that is passed on through generations. In the Philippines, there is a high regard for social hierarchy based on age. It is typically done upon entry to the elder’s home or upon seeing them. Usually performed with the right hand, the person showing respect may ask “mano po” to the elder in order to ask permission to initiate the gesture. By doing so, you are allowing yourself to be submissive to the elder and agree to accept and respect their blessing and wisdom.
