Customs of the early Filipinos that are still in practice at present

1. Mano po-refers to a physical gesture of taking a hand of an elder and bringing
it towards your forehead.
2. "Kuya" or "Ate" -very big on respect
- the term kuya refers to a older male person; it means ' big brother'
- the feminine form is ate which is directed towards an older
female person; it means ' big sister'
3. The power of the eyebrows - raising your eyebrows can also communicte a positive
affirmation of "yes" when a yes/no question has been asked.
4. The lips give direction- by puckering their lips and facing a certain direction, they are using
their lips to point to communicate a certain direction.
5. Food at every gathering- whether it be a grand party or just informal meeting, Filipinos
express their hospitality and friendship through the serving of food.
6. Take your shoes off when entering a Filipino home- by taking your shoes off when entering a
Filipino home, you are conveying outmost respect towards the owners of
the property. You are showing them that you care about their property
and have the desire to maintain its cleanliness.
7. Hellos and Goodbyes cannot be taken for garanted- you must greet everyone "hello" at
every meeting and say "good-bye" at each farewell.
8. Simbang gabi
9. 12 round fruits

This are some of the filipino customs that are still in practice. That's all! :)

2.SIGNIFICANTS OF NATURAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES OF THE PHILIPPINES TO OUR NATION

Human and natural resourcesare both important. It is because without human resources no one will be in charge in taking care and handling all of the natural resources. And without natural resources, human cannot live. Because we can get food and our basic needs in the natural resources of the Philippines to our nation.
That's all.

1.EFFECTS OF POPULATION EXPLOSION

One of the effects of population explosion is poverty. For example: A family with more than 4 children.the earnings of the father or mother will not be sufficient to provide the needs of the family such as the food and especially the education of the children. Another effect of the population explosion is the lack of employment. Because of this people are tempted to steal and to holdap a person. That's all that I can say about the effects of population explosion.
