Abstract
Having good manners that we have learned from childhood stay with us our whole lives and can influence our future relationships at home, school and even if public life as we grow old. Etiquette is derived from the French word which means originally the list of rules for individual conduct at the royal court as Butcher and Pletcher (2016) asserted. But today it is understood as a set oof appropriate behaviors intended to aid others to feel comfortable and respected. “Manners are sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use” Emily Post quoted on Etiquette (Post 2019). This study employed the non-experimental descriptive survey research design in investigating the research problem.This study was conducted in Pedro V. Basalan Elementary School. The respondents in this study are the 145 school-aged children in the research locale. This revealed that the dining etiquette of the learners need to improve as the data gathered manifest that leaners responses in the survey are almost at the Moderate level. This means that an orientation program on proper dining etiquette should designed and implemented.For future researchers, it is strongly recommended that a relative study on table manners of the learners especially those in the intermediate level be conducted.
