Let’s Listen <strong>to</strong> This<br />
Let’s continue listening <strong>to</strong> the rest of the tape. (Again, you may just read the<br />
dialogue if you don’t have a cassette player around.)<br />
Scene 2 : At the house of Hones<strong>to</strong> and Concha<br />
Concha : Here we are home at last! Let’s all come in.<br />
Domeng : (Upon seeing his father.. ) Let me kiss your hand, Father. How<br />
are you?<br />
Hones<strong>to</strong> : I’m fine. It’s just that lately my knees have <strong>be</strong>en aching <strong>be</strong>cause<br />
of arthritis.<br />
Domeng : Father, I’d like you <strong>to</strong> meet Joseph. Joseph, this is your<br />
grandfather.<br />
Joseph : Let me kiss your hand, Lolo. You know, Lolo, you don’t look<br />
that old! It seems that you and Daddy are of the same age.<br />
Hones<strong>to</strong> : Really? You really surprise me! Aside from knowing how <strong>to</strong><br />
speak <strong>Filipino</strong>, you’re also good at flattery.<br />
Domeng : Joseph is right, Father. You don’t look old. You may even have<br />
more hair than I have. What’s your secret?<br />
Hones<strong>to</strong> : Oh, s<strong>to</strong>p it! Come on, let’s all get inside and have something <strong>to</strong><br />
drink! Arvin, can you please help them with their luggage?<br />
Arvin : Yes, Tata Hones<strong>to</strong>, I’ll <strong>be</strong> glad <strong>to</strong>.<br />
Joseph : Thank you, Kuya Arvin.<br />
Arvin : Don’t mention it.<br />
Hones<strong>to</strong> : I’m all praises for my grandson, Domeng. He knows how <strong>to</strong><br />
speak our language, and he’s also courteous, even if he grew up<br />
in America.<br />
Domeng : Tay, do you still remem<strong>be</strong>r what Inay has always taught me? That<br />
I should not forget our national language. That is why, we always<br />
speak <strong>Filipino</strong> when we’re at home in America. And of course,<br />
my wife and I have not forgotten some of our good <strong>Filipino</strong><br />
traits. One of these is <strong>be</strong>ing respectful <strong>to</strong> the elders and <strong>to</strong> other<br />
people. We have not also forgotten how <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> thoughtful and<br />
helpful. I have not forgotten what you and Inay have taught us<br />
since we were children. We have imparted all of these <strong>to</strong> my<br />
son, as well.<br />
Hones<strong>to</strong> : I’m proud of you, my son. You are a true <strong>Filipino</strong>.<br />
