Here’s a little trivia for today: Did you know that the Philippine currency carries a Bible verse?
Printed on our money is Psalm 33:12: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” In Filipino, “Pinagpala ang bayan na ang Diyos ay ang Panginoon.”
What a beautiful reminder that true blessing begins with acknowledging that our God is the Lord.
At Christian Academy of Bacolod, we seek to uphold one value: loving God above all. And from our love for God flows our love for others, including a deep love and appreciation for our country.
This love for God, expressed through love for country, was evident during our Buwan ng Wika celebration last August 28, 2026. The celebration was more than simply performing Filipino songs and dances or wearing traditional Filipino attire. It was an opportunity to worship God through our language, celebrate our God-given heritage, and express our love for our country and fellow Filipinos.
The program began with all grade levels coming together in a performance of “Sambahin Ka, O Yahweh!” The CAB Chorale then led the community in worship through the Filipino rendition of “Tribe.”
This was followed by a message from our school chaplain, delivered in Filipino, on the character of being tactful, or mabuting pakikitungo. It reminded us to speak and act with wisdom, grace, and consideration for others.
After the messages and performances, the celebration continued with fellowship among parents, teachers, and students.
Every year, Christian Academy of Bacolod celebrates Buwan ng Wika and culminates it with a day dedicated to celebrating our language, heritage, and country. But at the heart of the celebration is something even greater: honoring the Lord our God, from whom all these blessings come. Indeed, “Pinagpala ang bayan na ang Diyos ay ang Panginoon.” 🇵🇭
