Linggo ng Wika

It is during Linggo ng Wika (Language Week) that school children are made aware of the importance of not only the Filipino language but the Filipino Heritage as well.
As a culminating event, the children are asked to put on their Filipino costume for one day, along with a presentation program in school, consumption of Filipino kakanin (finger foods) and the like.
My daughter, Ima, was excited to wear my colorful Bukidnon native costume - although, not excited enough to complete the outfit with the peacock-like headress and the numerous and weight-y beads accessories. (She was the only one in school wearing this costume - and am proud of her!)

Here is a picture of her, along with her school-and-shuttle-mates in their costumes. :-)
