As new generation, do we, Filipinos, still appreciation our older folks by saying "po" and "opo"? Alternately just by calling our more seasoned kin, "consumed" or "kuya"? In our generation, a few of us, we don't say this words as an indication of admiration to the elderly folks. Others feel like its nothing when more youthful individuals don't say "po" and "opo" to them, or call them "consumed" or "kuya", while others feels slighted. Filipinos demonstrates their appreciation by saying "po" and "opo", or by calling them "consumed" or "kuya". The saying "opo" at times signifies "yes" when more youthful individuals are posed a question by an elderly. Calling somebody "consumed" is an indication of admiration for young ladies, while "kuya" is for young men. Most Filipinos call their more seasoned sibling or sister "consumed" or "kuya" as an indication of admiration. In a few families, they get distraught at whatever point they hear more youthful children not calling more established kin or relatives "consumed" or "kuya".
