  9. Respects Until this decade, Filipinos are still adopting their old tradition of showing their respect to older persons. Like, every time you enter into a house, you have to reach for the hand of the older person and touch the back of their hand to your forehead. It is just the same as a kiss in the Western countries. And the use of “po” or “opo” as a gesture of respect to someone to whom you are talking with who is older than you.
