Buwan ng Wika

Last January 15, 1997, Pres. Fidel V. Ramos issued Proclamation No. 1041 declaring the whole month of August as “Buwan ng Wika”. Since then, It became a tradition at schools and offices to wear Filipiniana during August.

In celebration of Buwan ng Wika, preschool students of Benedicitine International School were asked to wear Filipino costumes.
