SUMMARY
 Filipino mothers should teach
their children love of God,
country and fellowman.
 Filipino mothers should be
glad and honored, like Spartan
mothers to offer their sons on
defense of their country.
 Filipino women should know
how to protect their dignity and
honor.
 Filipino women should educate
themselves aside from
retaining their good radical
values.
 Faith is not merely reciting
prayers and wearing religious
pictures, it is living the real
christian way with good morals
and manners.
