True submissiveness comes from love and respect, not just from obligation or authority. Kung ang usa ka butang buhaton lang tungod kay gikinahanglan, mahimong walay bili. Submission should be voluntary, stemming from mutual honor and understanding. Like a wife who respects her husband’s leadership out of love, submissiveness in any organization must be built on trust and shared responsibilities. Sa kultura sa mga Pilipino, ang bana gihapon ang giila isip pangulo sa pamilya, apan ang asawa adunay papel sa panag-ambitay sa pagdesisyon. This principle applies not only at home but also in the workplace and society.
Respect and honor make submission easier and more meaningful. Ang tawong adunay dungog ug integridad kasabot nga ang matag usa adunay tahas nga angayan tahoron. It is not a sign of weakness but of wisdom and humility. A person who submits with sincerity helps create harmony in an organization. Dili kinahanglan og pwersa kung ang matag-usa kasabot sa ilang papel ug responsibilidad. Recognizing each person’s role leads to teamwork and cooperation, making goals easier to achieve.
Submission is necessary to maintain order and progress. Sumala sa gitudlo sa Diyos, kinahanglan kitang mosunod sa mga gi-assign nga lider sa pangagamhanan alang sa kaayohan sa tanan. Without submission, there will be disorder, and organizations will struggle to fulfill their mission. Apan kung ang tanan magtinabangay ug mosunod sa usag-usa nga may gugma ug pagtahod, adunay kahusay, kalinaw, ug kalamboan. By practicing submission with the right attitude, we contribute to a peaceful and progressive environment.

We demonstrate submissiveness to God’s order in our families, workplaces, communities, and nation. By honoring our spouses, respecting workplace leadership, and supporting officials, we uphold the authority established in these areas. Instead of speaking negatively about leaders, we choose to cooperate with their programs. Ultimately, we submit to the laws of our land and, above all, to God’s plan, direction, and will in our lives.
𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑
Teach us, O Lord, to submit wholeheartedly to You, just as Your Son submitted to the Father without resistance. Grant us the grace to recognize the purpose of every authority You have set over our lives—in our homes, workplaces, communities, and nation. Help us to honor You by respecting those You have placed in leadership. May we submit with willing hearts and not be a rebellious generation. Amen
