• Filipinos have a unique way of expressing gratitude called “Mano Po”

    Posted by sylphieeee on March 10, 2023 at 5:42 am

    Can you explain what it is and when is the situational context where it’s appropriate to use it?

    Doing “mano po” is a way to show respect and it should be sincere. You do it when you greet the elders, when you visit someone’s house, and when you see and greet your professors/teachers.

    “Mano Po” is a traditional Filipino gesture of respect and gratitude that is appropriate to use in situations where a younger person is showing respect to an elder or someone in a position of authority. It is a sign of humility and respect deeply rooted in Filipino culture.

    This is a sign of respect or humility often done when greeting someone elder or with higher authority. It is also practiced in different contexts like holidays and masses.
