"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!

Remark: The minimum age of marriage is 15 for males, and ‘the age of puberty’ for females. A female between 12 and 15 years old can be married upon approval by the Shari’a District Court. The majority of girls in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in Mindanao marry before they reach 18.

The Code of Muslim Personal Laws is a special law for Muslims enacted through a Presidential Decree at the height of the Moro rebellion in the 1970s. All of the other national laws, including criminal law, apply to Muslim Filipinos along with the rest of the population.
