    pang-family or relatives lang dapat ang tawagang ito. sir, maam at miss lang gamit ko kapag hindi kakilala. Kapag chicks, "Ga"!

    I agree. Ate and kuya are mostly used by those belonging to the lower socio economic bracket. So those from higher brackets use the ate and kuya term na rin to establish some sort of connection. But I never got used to that because in school it has been our practice to call the guards and janitors manong and manang. I stopped doing this when I reached my mid 20s because the people I am addressing manong and manang might be younger than I am and find it offensive.

    Now I use boss and miss. Yung driver I now call Mang something. Dati Manong.
