"Never forget the roots of your family"
A little serious of our mind:
Try to imagine, that your grandchildren can´t speak with you in your language......
Learn your family the language of the roots, so your family - children can speak their language from childhood!
Learn your family the culture of the roots, so your family understand and respect the roots e.g. Mano Po!
Remember to look the mainpage About Philippines - click: English or Danish and look also NEWS & INFORMATIONS, where you can read many informations and last news about all pages.
