What is Pamalandong Effect?

              Pamalandong is an Ilonggo term meaning " to reflect", to think,to recollect. When i was small my father always tell me this word "Pamalandong" every time, i done something which is doutbful, not sure,sinful or not pleasing in the eyes of the people around me,especially not pleasing to God.
            My father is a very simple,positive thinker,hummer(likes to hum a church song by whistle)democratic and God -fearing.He is not beater,punisher or belt hitter.He is soft spoken, well-respected in our hometown.
I did not experienced a beat ,a punishment and belt hitting from him.When i committed a mistake,he just give me his calm,soft-spoken and penetrating advice,Finally he says;  "Pamalandong" ka.
