I learned while traveling that Filipinos do something similar called “ Mano po” where they essentially ask for blessing of the elder as well! So coool to see it in another culture

Keep teaching people about our culture!! I remember coming to the us and in being in school not rlly knowing to speak English well and everytime someone asked me where I’m from I will say I’m from the Dominican Republic and they never knew/understood me or my culture because of that and they just told me I’m Mexican or always assumed I was Mexican and that ain right lol
