Mother's Day in the Philippines, or "Araw ng Nanay," is a heartfelt celebration filled with tradition and love. Here's a glimpse into how Filipinos typically honor their mothers:
Pagmamano: This respectful gesture of kissing the back of one's elder's hand is a core part of Filipino culture. On Mother's Day, children of all ages perform the pagmamano to show gratitude and respect to their mothers (De La Cruz, 2018).
Family Gatherings: Filipinos value strong family ties. Araw ng Nanay is a perfect occasion for families to come together. Expect delicious home-cooked meals, heartfelt messages, and maybe even some karaoke singing! (Lagman, 2021)
Gifts and Flowers: While grand gestures are lovely, Filipinos often express their love through simple gifts and flowers. A handwritten card or a bouquet of Mom's favorite blooms can go a long way (Ancheta, 2023).
