How do you greet a Filipino parent?

Like do you say ';Hi, Mrs.__'; or something else. How do you greet a Filipino parent?
just be polite. like, hi Mr and Mrs so and so.. nice to meet you.. etc... How do you greet a Filipino parent?
Either magandang umaga po (good morning), magandang hapon po (good afternoon), or magandang gabi po (good evening). it's a polite way to say it. shows respect. and then obviously whatever their name is. And they have no word for hello. The standard greeting is good morning, afternoon or evening.
Pleased to meet you po.


Kumusta po kayo. ( How are you) '; po'; is a words of respect to elders.


Hello, how you doing po.





If you will say ';po'; well you have a 10 poinst if you are courting someone.


And if she or he is your friend using ';po'; they will admire you telling you are very polite.



hi, mrs. cruz.





hello,mr.cruz. magandang umaga po.(goodmorning)


magandang araw po. (good day)





or we usually say, auntie or uncle.





kumusta po kayo auntie/uncle?(how are you auntie/uncle?)



';How are you?'; can be expressed in the following:





';Kumusta ho kayo?';





';Kumusta po kayo?';





';Kumusta po sila?';
Like, in Tagalog?


';Kamusta ka'; is the formal way of greeting someone, and should be said with an inquisitive inflection (in the same tone you'd say ';How are you?';)
';Magandang gabi po, Mrs. xxx'; - Good evening.





';Magandang umaga po, Mrs. xxx'; - Good morning.





';Magandang hapon po, Mrs. xxx'; - Good afternoon.
Yes you can do that. Also, you can take their hand and take it to your forehead. It's a sign of respect for elders.
In Tagalog:





Magandang umaga/tanghali/gabi po Ginoong/Ginang ____. Kumusta po kayo?





English Translation:


Good morning/noon/evening Mr/Mrs ______. How are you?
yeah just like that..Hi, Mrs._______.
