I've noticed that Filipino kids nowadays often greet their parents casually (either by saying "Hello Mama/Papa" or hugging and kissing them on the cheeks). I wonder, do you still practice giving "mano" to the elders and teach your kids to do the same as a sign of respect? Image source: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/194358540144179051/

I'm not Filipino but this question is fascinating because the mano is really similar to hand-kissing or "salam" in the Malay culture. In both you use your right hand, do it when you see your elders and it's a sign of respect. I still salam my elders and I think it's important to keep the tradition when I have kids. I will definitely teach them and you should too. It's ok to hug and have Western greetings but at the end of the day, I find that Asians have soooo many unique ways of showing respect, it'll be a waste not to preserve them :)
