It is given that we show love and respect to our elders for the “love and care” that they devoted to us but then, this is the “love and care” that we rightfully deserve. It disgusts me that some parents raise their child with the expectation that when the time comes they’ll return the favor. And when they don't receive what they have expected they consider their child a total failure with "walang utang na loob". Im not talking base on experience but I believe that this has been a common situation in our society.
