Full text from the video
culture goes beyond politeness. It is embedded in the language itself through one powerful
word: po. When a child drops a vase and says sorry po to mom, when she thanks
dad with thank you po, or when a student says paalam po to a teacher,
that small addition transforms the entire interaction. Po is not just a word,
it is a cultural marker of respect, humility, and acknowledgment of hierarchy.
It is used when speaking to elders, authority figures, or anyone deserving honor.
This linguistic practice teaches children from birth to value respect as a core principle.
Understanding po means understanding the Filipino heart.
