Handa na ba ang mga masasarap na lutong pinoy, manariwang inumin, at higit sa lahat, handa na ba ang iyong ngiti na magsisilbing tanda ng iyong pagmamalaki bilang isang Pilipino? 🇵🇭✨

Bago matapos ang buwan ng Agosto, ipinagdiriwang ng mga Pilipino ang kahalagahan ng sariling wika. Ang temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa,” ay nagsisilbing paalala na ang wika ang nagbubuklod at nagdudulot ng pag-unlad sa sambayanan.

Ang wikang Filipino ay hindi lamang paraan ng komunikasyon kundi isa ring makapangyarihang sagisag ng pagkakakilanlan at pagmamahal sa bansa.

Kaya’t inaanyayahan ang lahat na makiisa at makibahagi sa pagdiriwang ng 𝑩𝒖𝒘𝒂𝒏 𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒌𝒂 2025! 🎉🇵🇭

Let us unite as one community—faculty, students, and partners—to champion nutrition security for every Filipino. Through creative engagement and collective action, we turn awareness into empowerment.”

Yesterday, July 31, 2025, at the USJR High School Covered Court, we kicked off our Nutrition Month celebration with a festive Fruit Festival: representatives donned vibrant fruit-themed costumes to bring nutrition to life! The day featured interactive exhibits and educational activities aligned with PPAN’s nutrition security goals. We wrapped up with a fun-filled fruit selling activity—promoting healthy choices and supporting local produce.

A heartfelt thank you to our faculty, students, and guest whose energy and dedication made the occasion meaningful and memorable. Together, we’re nourishing lives and empowering our community.
