Here in Philippines, we, the young ones are using PO and OPO whenever we are talking to someone who is older than us. This is the one of the first things that parents teach to their children.
I remember that when I was younger whenever my grandparents hear that I don’t use PO and OPO when I am talking with my aunties they are saying that I don’t have respect.
Now that I am already a teenager, I must teach this to my younger sisters, to show respect to whoever they are talking to.

I am proud of those words if you ask me that is why I began using them first a week or weeks ago. But thank you for sharing this to everyone.

This is something I did not know. Things like this are no longer common in the US.

It's similar to, "Yes, Mom", "Yes, Ma'am." etc... Every respectful or kind deed goes long way.Treasure our good family tradition.
