I together with my Mama went to the school and arrived at around 10:00 AM. We brought my costume and Mama helped me dressed up in school.
At around 10:30 AM, we gathered to the school's covered court and there, we prepared the foods that we brought. There's a dedicated area for the parents so that they can watch the kids while we go through their program.
We activity started with a prayer and some opening remarks. Then we lined up for we will go around the school campus to show off our costumes. After that, we all went to the stage for a little picture taking.
We also had some song and dance numbers. I, along with two of my classmates who also won in Timpalak Bigkasan, recited our "Wikang Pinoy" piece on stage (with microphone). Obviously I was shy as I recited along with the two kids.
After reciting the poems, we all shared the foods that everyone brought. I brought kutsinta, while the other students brought puto, pichi-pichi, pancit and biko. After the break, we were asked to join the games that the teachers prepared. First contest was the calamansi relay race, my class won that contest. Next contest was the "Pahabaan ng line" contest. We were asked to say "Pinoy Ako...." as long as possible. I didn't win
Then we had the "Magtanim ay di biro" game where in we were asked to put straws on the softdrink bottles and then we will remove it too. My class won second place. We also had the "Hataw Palayok" game and the "Pabitin".
When the program was about to end, Teacher Kaycee asked me to lead the closing prayer. I was confident enough to go infront of everyone in the covered court, held the microphone and led the prayer.
Mama's so proud!
I was able to take home a couple of candies as prizes and some toys as souvenirs. It was a a fun activity. Wikang Filipino... Bow!
