Proud to be Filipino!


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.
