Answer:
1. Mano or Pagmamano
-“Mano” is the Spanish word for “hand,” while “po” is a Filipino term used as a sign of respect. It is done by taking the hand of the elder and gently tapping it to one’s forehead while saying “mano po.” This is usually done by someone younger to show respect to the elders and as a way of accepting a blessing from them. Mano is also unofficially called “bless” by some Filipinos.
2.Lip Pointing
-Instead of lifting a hand or finger or arm, which uses unnecessary energy, Filipinos sometimes use their pouting lips to point at a certain object or direction instead. Many foreigners find this funny and confusing, but this gesture is very common and unique to Filipinos. When you see a Filipino do this, don’t confuse it with an invite for a kiss!
3.Nodding and raising eyebrows with a smile
-This is one way of how Filipinos greet each other in a casual and quick way, acknowledging that you saw that person. This gesture is sometimes followed with a friendly tap in the shoulder if they are within reach.
4.Arms extended while lowering the head
-These gestures are commonly done when passing in front of two people talking to each other or crossing a room when someone’s watching a TV. Followed by an “excuse me,” this gesture is seen as a sign of courtesy and respect.
5. Drawing a rectangular or square shape in the air using the hands
-This is commonly done by the Filipinos in restaurants when asking for the menu or bill. To get the waiter’s attention, Filipinos tend to make a square shape in the air with their hands high in the air to ask for the menu and a rectangular shape for the bill.
6.Silent looks
-Usually, when Filipino parents give this fiery-eyes-silent-look to their child, it automatically means that the child should stop whatever he/she is doing. This is one way of Filipino parents to warn or control their children in public without negatively catching many people’s attention.
7.Open Mouth
-An open mouth doesn't always mean a person is surprised, shocked or wants her mouth to be checked. This Filipino gesture actually means the person didn't quite understand or didn't hear what was said. An open mouth is a non-verbal way of asking, 'What did you say?'
8.Thumbs Up
-Another common Filipino hand gesture is the 'thumbs up.' Thumbs up is pretty much used just the same as most places in the world. A thumbs-up gesture is used to mean 'good,' 'alright,' 'okay,' or to indicate acknowledgment or approval.
9. Wrinkled eyebrows
-Most probably this means confusion, rather than being angry. Filipinos are not inclined to express directly anger because it is not good to do so in public. So if a Filipino wrinkles his or her eyebrows, just explain more what you just have said, and everything will be okay.
10. Hands on hips
-This is an imposing, imperative and dominating gesture. Parents usually do this to command something to their children. It could also signify irritation or anger. The hips in Filipino society is a sensitive part that needs to be avoided, both to express something to another, or exhibit personal emotions.
