Respectful

Filipinos are respectful. We see this in how we address our elderly people. Tagalogs say "po" and "opo" when addressing someone older than them (an equivalent of the French "vous" and the Spanish "usted"). We also have various titles like Kuya for an older brother or older male cousin, ate for an older sister or older female cousin, and many others like Aling, Mang, Manong, Manang, diko, ditse, Ingkong, Lolo, Lola, etc. as respect for older relatives and people. There's also the popular "mano" where younger people reach for the hands of their elderly and touch it to their foreheads.
