Bringing to life the 2012 Buwan ng Wika theme, “Tatag ng
Wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagka-Pilipino” (The Stability of the Filipino Language: The Strength of Filipinos), St. Francis of
Assisi School of Silay City showcased a month-long celebration renewing the
true spirit of the National Language.
Different contests were held throughout the month of August: vocal solo, “native-creative”
dance and a folk dance to name a few.
A variety of Filipiniana (or native Filipino) costumes were
worn every Monday, painting the school with Filipino flavors of pride and
unity.
The wearing of national costumes--Maria Claras for girls and
Barong Tagalogs for boys—highlighted the Culmination Day celebration last
August 31.
The August 31 Culmination Day was a showcase of Filipino
culture at its best—beautiful costumes, creative dances and chorale
presentations, sumptuous Filipino delicacies cooked by parents in a cooking
contest, national symbols presented by the pre-elementary students in a
creative intermission number, and most importantly the SFAS community UNITED in
celebrating our being FILIPINOS.
