 What is RESPECT?

It pertains to courteous expression of

esteem or being regarded with honor;
an attitude or behavior towards
deference/admiration; willingness to
show consideration and appreciation;
Generally speaking, it is a positive
feeling or action expressed towards
something. Furthermore, it could also
refer to something held in high esteem
or regard. Showing Respect is a sign of
ethical behavior.
SHOWING RESPECT IN FILIPINO
CULTURE
Respect is a very important part of Filipino culture.
We show respect to our elders, parents,
grandparents, older siblings, relatives, friends, and
teachers. Some examples of respect are:
Addressing elders with “po” at the end of
sentences
Answering, “opo” to reply “yes” respectfully
Calling your older sister, “Ate” or your
older brother, “Kuya.”
Listening respectfully to your parents
and teachers
Using “mano po” to request for blessings
from your elder relatives
 Respect to Others
Filipinos regard others with dignity and
respect this is being observed in a basic
sense of justice, fairness and concern for
others fellowmen, nature or animals.
Filipinos also show respect to other people
outside of the family. Here are some other
names that are used to address elders:
Ninong at Ninang
Mang
Aleng
At iba pa.
In brief, the Filipino core values influence
how they behave in any situation. The
Philippines is recognized in having
“collectivist” culture indicated by close
family ties and community ties in society.
 Filipino values are centred at preserving
social harmony, motivated mainly by
the desire to be accepted within a group.
This makes a Filipino a reliable person
that can easily integrate and work with
anyone, anytime, anyhow & anywhere.
