On August 28 – 29, 2025, Interface Computer College, Manila, came alive with the vibrant spirit of Buwan ng Wika 2025. The theme “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa” resonated deeply with the Interfacers, who gathered at the Ground Floor (Activity Area) of ICC, to celebrate the richness and importance of Filipino language and culture
The two-day celebration was packed with exciting activities that showcased the students’ talents, creativity and appreciation for our language and rich culture. From the colorful artworks in Guhit Pinoy to the powerful and expressive performances in Interpretatibong Pagbasa and Tanghal Tula, which emphasized the artistic use of language and brought life to selected literary pieces.
The program also came alive with the Sabayang Pagbigkas, it was truly electrifying! As collective voices came together in perfect harmony, delivering patriotic messages that gives everyone a powerful sense of unity and patriotism. Traditional games through Laro ng Lahi was a blast from the past, bringing smiles and nostalgia to all participants.
Adding more color and rhythm, the Katutubong Sayaw contest was a vibrant explosion of beauty and rich Philippine traditions. The Lakan and Lakambini ng Wika competition stole the show! The participants absolutely slayed, showcasing their charisma, intelligence, and love for Filipino culture. It was like seeing the very best of what it means to be Filipino, and it was truly unforgettable!
The Buwan ng Wika 2025 celebration at ICC was an unforgettable experience! It was a perfect blend of fun, energy, and meaningful moments that reminded us all just how precious our language and culture are. Let's keep the spirit alive and pass on these treasures to the next generation!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who participated and supported this event. Truly, the Filipino language and native tongues are historic pillars in uniting our nation.
Mabuhay ang Wikang Filipino!
