Throwback Monday | HUMSS 12 José 🥉 2nd Runner-up, RecycParol Making Contest
—
HUMSS 12 José’s Parol is called “Pasko sa Pinas.” This parol used the colors of the Philippine National Flag; yellow, red, and blue. This parol showcases the Philippines’ christmas culture and highlights the Filipino’s resiliency amidst challenges. Additionally, this parol is made during the fight of jeepney drivers in the Philippines, alongside with the emergence of the movement.
This parol is not just an entry for the competition— this is a call and an advocacy against those who are pushing to extinct the appearance of PUVs in the Philippine highways and streets. Jeepneys are part of the Phillipine history and is something that Filipino’s should not forget and erase as this continuously serves the Filipino people all throughout the country.
