Article III. The Dulangan Manobo and their Cultural Practices
Section 10. Family Relations
(1) Children should obey their parents. Siblings should have unity, love for one another, and respect for one another.
(2) Parents should keep good relationship among family members, take care of their children, and discipline their children. Parents should support the education of their children for them to have a good future.
(3) Family members should share the chores to have a progressive and peaceful life.
Section 11. Relations with Other Tribes—If other tribes come to visit such as Maguindanao, B’laan, Teduray, Kalagan, Ubo and T’boli, entertain them and give them food. If they encounter problems while staying in your house, help them promptly. Do not wait for their parents to solve the problem. Solve the problem yourself so that the people will see that you are a good datu and you consider them as part of your family. The Dulangan Manobos are helpful to other tribes when it comes to problems that need to be faced to attain peace.
