FILIPINO HERITAGE MONTH 

Filipino Heritage Month was born out of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s Proclamation No. 439 on 11 August 2003, “declaring the month of May of every year as National Heritage Month”.  The event is in recognition of the need to create among the people a consciousness, respect, and pride for their legacies of Filipino cultural history, and love of country.”This month of May, Filipinos celebrate the Filipino Heritage Festival with the theme "Awit at Sayaw",   highlighting the age-old as well as modern interpretations of Filipino music, bringing it to life through a variety of performances. 

“For this year’s festivities, we will re-open a treasure trove of Philippine music mirroring the daily lives of Filipinos. We will also showcase the traditional beliefs and value systems upon which these forms of art are founded.” Filipino Heritage Festival Director Bambi Harper said.
