Hey guys, are you still practicing our good customs and traditions..?

Hello mobhomeir! I am still practicing our old good customs our traditions. Most common thing I do is kissing the hand of our elders. I also like when a guy would offer a seat to a lady who is standing. But nowadays, men doesn't care about it anymore. Even if the lady is too old to stand, they don't care and pretend they don't see it.

that is wonderful my friend, keep up being so considerate to elderly people it shows you are a good person. I was always like that too, now I am disabled and almost elderly myself.

I always make it a point to slow down for our women, children, and elders. I also always respect our elders and people who are older than me. However, I feel that our next generation is starting to slip away from our values. I feel that they've been so caught up with other cultures that they forget to exhibit our values and traditions. Sad but true.

I would like to keep the traditions and the customs in me because they are good in a way of giving respect. But still, time and generation changes and so with the way of life. Although we live in the present, I would still want these customs and traditions to be kept. Not all though.. I like the thought of guys winning girls' heart by serenading, and doing other all the means to win her. That's just fattening the heart and soul. I also like the thought of saying 'po' and 'opo' as giving respect to elders, though most of the time I don't really do that anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't respect elders. Love being a Pinoy.

I do practice this as much as I can. I was taught to do this at a young age by example and I intend to teach my own children in this manner too. I think this a tradition that is dieing and I hate that because our elders deserve so much more respect than they get. I hope that I can help carry it on through my teaching of my children and the example I try to set for the people around that see it.

Yeah definitely we must respect them not only because they have been live in this world for so long but also to think of it, we all go to their same situation as we grow old. As I know, although the system in our country really sucks, there are laws about caring the elders which provide free dental check ups, medicine and different services for their needs. Totally for free.

I am not a guy but I seem to see this phenomena less and less. Most men when commuting just ignore the elderly passengers who are standing in the bus or the MRT. Though there are still those who are good enough to keep true to what has been taught good and decent. i wish that more men will still feel the need to give up their seats for the others who need it more....

I respect those good customs and traditions.We'll all be old.if you want to be respected when you were old ,you should respect the old when you are young.Treat others the way you want to be treated.Its nice of you to post this topic.

I hope that good customs/traditions will not be a thing of the past soon. And I am sure we can help prolong the existence of good habits by constantly practicing them and showing and teaching them to the next generation. Kissing the elders' hand, using "Po" and "Opo" when talking to older people, allowing the ladies and old ones to be seated first are just few of the customs that should never go out of style and should be inculcate to our children.

Hi mobhemehr, good day to you my kababayan. Well you are so very taughtful and you are very concern in those old peoples, and i also forgot to the tell that your so gentlemen in many situation. Well the nowadays it is very important to know our good tradition and customs, because this is one of the key to our success, together with the love, i think there was a good and big chance to rise our economy. By the way let's go back to the discussion. Me this night when i arrive in our home i go for a MAN0 to my parents to give respect, because it is very important to hold your banding with our family. And by the in that act, i think it is part of our tradition and customs. Well as i remember, my teacher told me that most of the Filipino are very good and kind because of our tradition and custom. Which causes for us to increase the tourist rate in our country. . . But here in our country some people no longer use our customs and tradition, which causes them to be rejected in jobs, because of a very low respect in every company. Well i guess that's all my response to your forum topic discussion entitled "hey, guys, are you still participating our good customs and tradition". Happy earning and happy posting. Good luck to our earning career! Mabuhay and Godbless us always. . .
