May is National Heritage Month. In Filipino, Pambansang Buwan ng Pamana. By virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 439, s. 2003, the Philippines celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. NHM aims to foster among us Filipinos the awareness, respect, and love for our own culture and history.
The Philippines has very colorful and rich traditions—from ancient practices and indigenous traditions to architectural marvels and artistic creations. As a country of more than 7,000 islands and a rich history of foreign colonialism and influences, we have an important heritage to appreciate and protect. This diversity is also an opportunity to showcase our identity as a people.
We have colorful festivals happening in May and the whole year round—Kadayawan in Davao, Pahiyas in Quezon, Flores de Mayo, and so on. We have the mesmerizing dances of the Kalinga and T’boli tribes and many other beautiful reminders of our amazing cultural roots. Food is also an important part of any culture, and we all know how diverse and extraordinary our culinary heritage is. The languages are included, as well as the various art forms like music, visual arts, literature, theater, etc.
