Celebrating Buwan ng Wika? Here’s a little trivia on how the BnW came to be and how you can participate in the celebration.

HAPI Celebrates: Buwan ng Pambansang Wika 2023. Ang pagdadakila ng Wikang Pambansa ay ipinasa noóng 23 Setyembre 1955, sa bisa ng Proklamasyon Blg. 186 bilang petsa ng pagdiriwang tungong 13-19 Agosto. Ito ay pagbibigay-pugay sa kaarawan ni dating Pangulong Manuel L. Quezon na tinaguriang "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa".

Nakalakihan na nating lahat ang pagdiriwang ng Linggo ng Wika magmula elementarya hanggang kolehiyo na mas pinaigting pa ni dating Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos noóng 1997 sa bisa ng Proklamasyon Blg. 1041 na nagtatakda sa buóng buwan ng Agosto taón-taón bílang Buwan ng Wika kalakip ang tagubilin sa iba’t ibang sangay at tanggapan ng pamahalaan partikular na sa mga paaralan na ipagdiwang ang naturang okasyon sa pamamagitan ng mga gawaing kababakasan ng kalinangan ng lahing Pilipino.

Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika 2023 ay pagkilala sa katotohanan ng pagiging linguistically diversed ng Pilipinas na pinatutunayan ng pag-iral ng napakaraming wika. Ayon sa Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) ay nasa 134 na ang bilang ng ating mga wika sa bansa kasama ang Filipino Sign Language (FSL).

Ang ibon at ang agrikultura ay ang pangunahing sagisag sa poster ng BnW 2023. Napakahalaga ito sa ingklusibong pag-unlad at pagpapatupad ng katarungang panlipunan ang pagbibigay-priyoridad sa agrikultura sapagkat sa sektor na itó nagmumula ang pagkaing pinagsasaluhan sa hapag ng pamilyang Pilipino.

Mga Paraan ng Pagdiwang ng Buwan ng Wika:
1. Alamin ang ating mga wika. Kilalanin ang mga karaniwang salita na ginagamit natin sa pang-araw araw na may banyagang ugat. Tukuyin natin ang mga ito at pag-aralan ang kanilang mga pinagmulan.

2. Magbasa ng mga aklat sa ating wika o mga gawaing pampanitikan na Pilipino ang may-akda. Maaari din namang manood ng sineng Pinoy.

3. Magprisinta bilang isang language coach o tagpagturo ng wika. Magturo sa mga kaklase o kaibigan na hindi marunong ng ating wika at tulungan silang mapabuti ang kanilang kasanayan.

Paano kayo sumali sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Pambansang Wika ngayong Agosto 2023?

Happy National Women’s Month to all the beautiful women, of all shapes and sizes!

HAPI Celebrates 2023 National Women's Month! In the Philippines, the Women’s Month Celebration serves as a venue to highlight women’s achievements and discuss continuing and emerging women’s empowerment and gender equality issues and concerns, challenges, and commitments.

The Philippine Commission on Women leads the National Women’s Month Celebration with the hope and ambition that WE are all for Gender Equality, WE are all for an inclusive society. WE stands for Women and Everyone emphasizing the role of women themselves and everyone in the pursuit of gender equality. WE also stands for Women’s Empowerment, which can only be achieved when agencies, and institutions provide women equal rights and opportunities, and women take these opportunities to further themselves. With women and everyone in synergy, WE can make gender equality a possibility.

The passage of the following laws serves as the legal bases for the celebration of National Women’s Month:

Proclamation No. 224 s. 1988, “Declaring the First Week of March of Every Year as Women’s Week and March 8, 1988, and Every Year Thereafter as Women’s Rights and International Peace Day.” Signed by former President Corazon C. Aquino on March 1, 1988, it affirmed our solidarity with the United Nations and recognized Filipino women’s contribution to the struggle for national independence, civil liberties, equality, and human rights.

Proclamation No, 227 s. 1988, “Providing for the observance of the Month of March as ‘Women’s Role in History Month’” Signed by President Aquino on March 17, 1988, reinforced the earlier proclamation by emphasizing the role of Filipino women in the social, cultural, economic and political development throughout our history. It provided for a month-long nationwide observance with appropriate ceremonies and activities to be spearheaded by the Commission.

R.A. 6949 s. 1990, “An Act to Declare March Eight of Every Year as a Working Special Holiday to be Known as National Women’s Day” was signed by President Aquino on April 10, 1990. The law further strengthened the impetus for the celebration by declaring every March 8 as a special working holiday and enjoining employees from the government and private sector to participate in activities conducted by their offices.

HAPI celebrates all our strong accomplished women who continue to advocate for women empowerment. Happy National Women's Month!
