#PhilippineTarsier #ProjectPHDbyJED —Size, Weight, and Lifespan— ​As one of the smallest primates on earth, their body is only about 4.5 to 5 inches (11–13 cm) in length on average, with a tail about double that length. They weigh between 4 and 5 oz (110–130 g). Tarsiers are shorter-lived than many other primates. One Philippine tarsier lived to 13 years of age in captivity, and lifespan in the wild is likely shorter than this. Philippine tarsiers don't often move quadrupedally. Instead, they tend to cling vertically to trees, using their tail for support, and can usually be found leaping about the rainforest. They can leap 20 feet (6 meters) at a time—pretty amazing for such a small animal! #SoMeePh #HivePh #Somee #PhilippineCulture #PhilippineTradition #Philippines

#Elders There are many ways we call our Moms and Dads. For Moms, it can be Mama, Nanay, Inay, Nanang, and Ima. And for our Dads, It can be Papa, Tatay, Itay, Tatang, and Tang. Our Uncle we call as Tito, Bapa, or Tiyo. Our Aunt we call as Tita, Dara, or Tiya. One thing that will never be allowed is for our parents or elders to be called by their first name. #ProjectPHDbyJED #SoMeePh #SoMeeCulture #SoMeeTraditions #Philippines

A definite "must teach" to Dylan #PhilippineTradition- #Pagmamano Every culture has its way of showing respect to elders. In the Philippines, the traditional gesture is called “Pagmamano.” #Pagmamano is similar to hand kissing. The younger person asks for the elder’s right hand and presses it on their forehead; this means that they’re asking for the elder’s #blessing and acknowledging their #wisdom. It’s typically done before entering an elder’s home or as a greeting when you meet them. “Mano po” is the phrase used to initiate the greeting. “Mano” derived from the Spanish word “hand” and “po” a Tagalog word added to sentences as a sign of respect. “Mano po” can be translated as “your hand please” and “may I have your blessing? Once the elder gives you their hand, it means that they have given you their blessing and oftentimes they will respond to you by saying “Kaawaan ka ng Diyos.” which means “God bless you or May the Lord have mercy on you.” There’s no age limit when using pagmamano but it’s best to teach the #youngergeneration as early as we can so they get to remember and apply it. So the next time you visit the Philippines and see someone older, greet them by saying “Mano po”. #Philippines #PhilippineCulture #ProjectPHDbyJED Source: Pagmamano - ART OF BLADE
