===''pô/hô'' and ''opò/ohò''===
The words {{lang|tl|pô/hô}} originated from the word "{{lang|tl|Panginoon}}." and "{{lang|tl|Poon}}." ("Lord."). When combined with the basic affirmative {{lang|tl|Oo}} "yes" (from [[Proto-Malayo-Polynesian]] *heqe), the resulting forms are {{lang|tl|opò}} and {{lang|tl|ohò}}.

"{{lang|tl|Pô}}" and "{{lang|tl|opò}}" are specifically used to denote a high level of respect when addressing older persons of close affinity like parents, relatives, teachers and family friends. "{{lang|tl|Hô}}" and "{{lang|tl|ohò}}" are generally used to politely address older neighbours, strangers, public officials, bosses and nannies, and may suggest a distance in societal relationship and respect determined by the addressee's social rank and not their age. However, "{{lang|tl|pô}}" and "{{lang|tl|opò}}" can be used in any case in order to express an elevation of respect.
*Example: "{{lang|tl|Pakitapon namán '''pô/hô''' yung basura.}}" ("Please throw away the trash.")

Used in the affirmative:
*Ex: "{{lang|tl|Gutóm ka na ba?" "'''Opò/Ohò'''}}". ("Are you hungry yet?" "Yes.")

{{lang|tl|Pô/Hô}} may also be used in negation.
*Ex: "{{lang|tl|Hindi ko '''pô/hô''' alám 'yan.}}" ("I don't know that.")
