Pinoy moms, do you still teach kids the act of "pagmaMANO" when greeting elders? Some of my brother's in-laws keep criticizing him for not teaching his kids, who were raised in the States, this habit.

I believe it is still a must to teach this gesture of showing respect no matter how our culture has evolved through the centuries. I must admit, we were never taught of this when we were young. And now, as I observe my cousins do this to my parents or other elder family relatives, it blows me off on how sincere and respectful it implies as an act of love and respect.
