HCC Gymnasium was filled with applause and laughter as the school launches in-person school programs during the recent Buwan ng Wika celebration, August 22-30. The celebration centers with this year’s theme “Filipino at mga Katutubong Wika: Kasangkapan sa Pagtuklas at Paglikha.”
After two years of online school events, students are now eager to participate in different events and contests conducted using the national language to showcase Crucian’s talent. The Buwan ng Wika also page homage to the rich culture of the Philippines with 120 different languages and 8 major languages including Kapampangan.
Spoken Poetry, storytelling, literary writing, slogan making, creative face painting, and singing contest are among the successful events during the week-long celebration.
“Bilang guro ang pinakamagagawa natin ay pagbubukas ng kaisipan ng ating mga mag-aaral sa kung ano ba ang kalahagaan at ano ang maitututlong ng wika sa atin. Kailangan din na ikaw mismong guro kailangan ipakita na ginagamit mo ito (wika),” said SHS Filipino Coordinator, Joselito Macapagal.
The recognized student organization of Filipino major students, ABAKADA mentioned that the national language should be promoted not just during the month of August but all year round.
Micaella Gamboa Carbonera, president of ABAKADA, said during the interview that language can help bridge gaps and promote understanding.
“Nakita ni Manuel L. Quezon na kailangan ang isang wika kung saan magkakaintidihan ang bawat Pilipino dahil nga doon ginagamit ang wikang Pilipino para sa komunikasyon ng mga Pilipino. Napakahalaga na kapag nakipag-usap tama ang antas at lebel ng wika,” Carbonera said.
In addition, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Leticia D. Flores emphasized that aside from using the national language, students can also display their love for the country through simple actions.
“Pagtulong sa kapwa ay isa rin halimbawa ng pagmamahal sa bayan. Marami pang kailangang gawin para makasama sa pag-unlad ng mundo o ng Asya. Marami pa tayong dapat matutunan… Kayong mga kinabukasan ng bansa pinagdadasal ko na ang mga susunod na henerasyon ay hindi na dumaan sa hirap. Kaya ninyo gawin ang tama at nararapat. Tayo ay iisang Pilipino,” she said during the Buwan ng Wika opening program.
