where have all the politeness gone?

During our camp's camp-wide game, it was my practice to say 'thank you' to the campers who came into me and tried to solve the puzzle I was tasked to handle and supervise. Only a few campers/youths would respond to my 'thank yous', some would just turn their back and hurried off to the next station/task.

On my way to work yesterday, I particularly noticed a fellow commuter who addressed the motorela driver as 'tatay' and not 'manong'. Good of him to use that word.

While a high school student on vacation didn't even mind passing in between two elders talking in the pathway along Divisoria.

Where have all the youngsters' manners gone?
