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.

All I could say was "Wow!" when I saw how really vast the usage of the coconut was. The free event celebrating the versatile coconut and its various usage confirmed the facts that the coconut indeed is the most useful fruit ... or nut!

Sampling some of the coconut food products were appreciated and buying some non-food products for take-home souvenirs made my day. The lectures on the latest technologies related to the coconut industry was also a worthwhile reason why I stopped to sit down and listen intently.

The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) in coordination with the private sector spearheaded the celebration of the 27th National Coconut Week and 12th Coconut Festival at the Mega Trade Hall of SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City a few weeks ago.

This year's theme was "Biyaya ng Niyugan, Kaunlaran ng Bayan", an apt label to the benefits derived from the coconut and its contribution to the country's economy.
