What is pagmamano in English?

Pagmamano is a Filipino custom of showing respect to elders by gently pressing their hand to your forehead. It's often translated as "mano po" in English, which literally means "hand, please."

While "mano po" is the most common translation, it can also be described as:

* "Respectful greeting"

* "Paying respects"

* "Showing reverence"

It's a gesture that signifies humility and acknowledgement of the elder's wisdom and experience.
