Bhuwan Ng Wikan

            Hi readers! Today we don’t have any classes, because the schools was celebrating Bhuwan Ng Wikan day.

            Bhuwan Ng Wikan day or Tagalong language day was held once a year on the end month of August. We were invited to participate the celebration, we wake earlier in the morning because as the co-advisor we were instructed to manage our classes to prepare and care them during the event. This celebration was celebrated by the school, it was started in the morning at 7.00 a m they students had to prepare in the hall wearing their traditional uniform and dress, for man it called Barong and for woman they have many names of their costumes, unfortunately I could not remember any of it.

(man traditional costume)

            The first agenda was walking around the school and it was look like a parade, but small parade. We were participated and accompanied the parade based on the classes that we have handled as a co-advisor. The agenda was continued with a speech by an expert which the speech talked about that the researcher should frequently use Tagalog language to conduct their research in order to make the tagalong language keep everlasting used (translated by one of my student). After delivered the speech, the school has prepared some competitions, started with singing competition which the participants were from junior high school, rap competition was participated with senior high school students. They were so creative and delivered the material about man and woman responsibilities. The competitions took 2 hours to finish. Then they had a break for 15 minutes before continued to other agendas.

            The third agenda was about peagent and costume competitions. The participants were from all classes consisted of 2 students (male and female) they were wearing traditional costume and need to show it and compete become the king and queen of USHS. But unfortunately we could not cool hour heels any longer because we had another agenda visiting another public school in Munoz.

            The school that we have visited was University Agriculture High School (UAHS), they school was the same as USHS, they both under CLSU management. but the core of UAHS is agriculture while USHS is science. The school was not really different with USHS, but the field and system was different because the core from both of the school different. The school system was the same to one another. But one interesting thing that I found was the school train the students to plant vegetables earlier. So the system was really good.
