What should be done to reserve this?
Unfortunately, there are Filipino culture that are no longer practiced or have lost their significance particularly among the new generation of Filipinos.
Below are just some of them:
Pagmamano or kissing the hands and forehead of the elders: parents and grandparents parents. Only few young Filipinos observed and practiced this particular tradition or values
Paninilbihan or servitude
This is one of the courtship customs that should not have been faded. This is particular tradition that Filipinos should be proud of. But unfortunately and for still unknown reasons, this tradition is seldom practice by the new generation of Filipino suitors.
These are just some of the long-established traditions/values that are slowly fading.
How to preserve these traditions/values?
To preserve these traditions, there must be collective efforts among the Filipinos like intensified awareness campaign of these traditions to be initiated by the government.
Another way of preserving these traditions is by teaching and practicing during school and community activities.
