The celebration of Buwan ng Wika continues amidst the pandemic. The Grade School Department had virtual activities held last August 25-27, 2021. The theme of this year’s celebration, “Filipino at mga Wikang Katutubo sa Dekolonisasyon ng Pag-iisip ng mga Pilipino.”

Students from Grades 1 to 6 and the teachers as well, participated in the celebration. There’s the usual wearing of Filipiniana costume, some with headdress and an added feature of fashionable face masks, still following the Filipiniana theme. At the culminating program, various activities were showcased by the students from different levels. They displayed their amazing talents in music, dance, poetry, arts, speech, and games as a tribute to our identity as a people.

The First Graders had Saya-Wit which is a combination of Filipino dance and song. They also had short storytelling through video presentations. The Second Graders showed their creativity through book mark making which was called “Tatak Ko’y Pilipino”, showing good manners of Filipino children and an Acrostic for “Wikang Filipino”.

The Third Graders displayed their ability to speak the Filipino language fluently and with pride through Tongue Twisters (Pampilipit-Dila). Another activity is Poster Making which showcased the talent of the students in drawing and gave importance to the love of reading Filipino books and literature.

Students in Fourth Graders acted as “Batang Makata” and recited the poem “ Sa Aking mga Magulang” by Jerome Apilla. They also had a Quiz Bee (“Tagisan ng Talino”) through Quizziz , that measures their prior knowledge in language and literature.

Fifth Graders learned more about the native language through Slogan Making with the theme, “ Katutubong Salita, Yaman ng Diwa.”The Sixth Graders had a monologue that made use of the native language in recognizing people who had significant contributions to the history of our country.

A “Language Parade” (Parada ng Wika) became a way for students to use the native language representing the culture and tradition of a particular area.

It was indeed a celebration worth remembering for both the students and teachers because it allowed them to grow, develop and become proud as a Filipino.
