Manong at Work


              Manong is at work! Yes, Filipinos particulary Ilocanos are known for being hardworking.  That is just one of the many qualities Manong has.  He wakes up early in the morning, usually takes a cup of coffee while eating pandesal or eat the leftovers (mostly rice and viand) last night as his breakfast then go on his way out to do all the tasks of the day.  Manong ordinarily ignores everything like the heat of the sun, muscle ache, tedious work for the sake of his family.   The utmost reason why Manong never give up and keep on working because of his loved ones. Manong remains simple and humble.  His smile manifests contentment and happiness in his journey.  I salute you Manong for being one of a kind.  I hope your children will appreciate all your sacrifices and do their best also in everything to pay back all your efforts. 
   
              Manong, agbiag ka! :)

MANONG (Mah-noh-ng) is an Ilocano term principally given to the first-born male in a Filipino family. However, it can also be used to title an older brother, older male cousin, or older male relative in an extended family. The feminine "MANANG" is a term given to an older sister.

Have you seen Manong around? :)
