Respect and Reverence
A good citizen acts respectfully
towards his fellowmen because it is by giving respect to others that we are respected. The Golden Rule, “do unto others what you want others to do unto you”, is a universally accepted statement that reflects the value of respect. By giving respect, we demonstrate that we are humans with proper breeding and etiquette. To whom and how do we show respect? Respect to our parents and relatives - the use of “po” and “opo” - the gesture of kissing the hand of elders to show respect. Respect towards women, elders and superiors - there are still some men who offer their seats to women, elderly in public transport. - the use of Ate, Kuya, Nanay, Tatay, Manong, Manang among others. - show respect to our superiors by addressing them using Mister, Miss and Mrs. Respect for your neighbors - this refers to the kind of respect we give our fellowmen in general. - it entails sensibility and sensitivity to the feelings of others. - it is important that you consider that you are not alone in this world, and that your actions may directly or indirectly affect your fellowmen. Respect for people in authority – despite the negative issues that we hear about some officials in our government, we must not lose our respect for them since they have been entrusted by the people to ensure the welfare of the country. After all, we cannot generalize that all government officials are irresponsible since there are still some officials who sincerely serve the people.
