In January we celebrate New
Year; February for Valentine’s Day; reminiscing our loved ones during the month
of November and December for Christmas. But do you ever know what occasion
during August? Every Juan dela Cruz must know the correct answer. The month of
August is the time where Filipinos celebrated its very own traditions,
cultures, delicacies and proudly Filipino materials. This is the month that Juan
celebrated the heroine acts of our hero's. This is the time where Filipino
around the world unites to celebrate the perks of being a Juan dela Cruz.
In our school, celebrating Filipino month is a tradition for the administration, teachers and students. Students can freely join the different contests conducted by Filipino teachers. They can join to what contests they are good at, for example balagtasan. Likhang awit, maunawang pagbasa, balagtasan, talumpatian and basag-lines are examples of contests that urge the students to show their own thoughts and ideas. But the most exciting part in celebrating Filipino month in our school is Pistang Pinoy. Pistang Pinoy is a traditional fiesta conducted evry end of August in every room wherein students can only eat Filipino foods and show their artistic way of decorating their rooms.
