Kapatid – The term brother comes from the Proto-Indo-European *b?réh2ter, which becomes Latin frater, of the same meaning. Sibling warmth, or sibling affect between male siblings has been correlated to some more negative effects. In pairs of brothers higher sibling warmth is related to more risk taking behaviour although risk taking behaviour is not related to sibling warmth in any other type of sibling pair.

The term sister comes from Old Norse systir which itself derives from Proto-Germanic *swester, both of whom have the same meaning, i.e. sister. Some studies have found that sisters display more traits indicating jealousy around their siblings than their male counterparts, brothers. In some cultures, sisters are afforded a role of being under the protection by male siblings, especially older brothers from issues ranging from bullies or sexual advances by womanizers.

Brushing aside the information obtained, and referred above, check which local networks are really half hearted and do not necessarily adhere to, and practice the real meaning of the word.

Which network(s) do not heed to opinion of viewers. They just keep on producing trash programs with the ultimate goal and objective of profit so they can walk to their hefty bank accounts and nothing more.

We were informed that in the US of A, programs that are unpopular and non receptive are killed even if advance episodes are in the can already.
