These two words are often heard from children addressing their parents, or when addressing an elderly and when talking to someone much older than you. Saying these two words are act of respect and one of the greatest values Filipino culture can be proud of.
If you try to translate "po"and "opo" into other languages, there is no word that can compare to act of respect that these two words bring. At an early stage in their life children of Filipino Families are already taught to always say "po" and "opo" to their parents and elders. Saying "po" is like saying what or can you repeat that while saying "opo" is like saying yes or agreeing to something.
Saying "po"and "opo" is a great tradition that we Filipinos should be proud of. This tradition should be passed on to future generations so that centuries old of respect and Pinoy culture won't be forgotten.
