Filipino Values by Ira Exconde

Filipino values are they important?
Should they be really kept constant?
Passed from our ancestors down,
That's why they should be reflected now.

Saying "po" or "Opo" to older people,
It shows respect, and it's that simple.
Excusing yourself from the dinner
Table
Reflects that in good manners, you are stable.

Taking off shoes when in one's residence,
Though not really practiced, shows great reverence.
Doing "Mano" or kissing your parents,
Shows that you love them and makes then content.

Good values have good effects,
But we don't need to be perfect.
By simply loving and respecting others,
We show our Filipino character.
