EN: good manners, proper conduct, virtue
This is what your parents and teachers tried to drill into you. Saying 'po' and 'opo,' not talking with your mouth full, respecting elders. It's the opposite of being 'bastos.' Having kagandahang-asal is your social currency, proving you were raised right and won't be a 'disgrasya' at the family reunion.
From `kagandahan` (beauty) + `asal` (conduct), literally 'beauty of conduct'.
ROOT MEANING: beautiful
A compound noun often taught in schools under 'Good Manners and Right Conduct' (GMRC).
