The students of Silid Aralan sa Embahada Termino IV celebrated Philippine Heritage Month on Saturday, 09 May 2026, at the Embassy of the Philippines in Stockholm through educational and cultural activities highlighting the Filipino language and storytelling.

In line with the theme, teachers Ms. Rofilleta Refuerzo-Larsson and Ms. Jella Galabo divided the students into two groups for age-appropriate activities.

The group of younger students participated in a storytelling session featuring “Ang Sapatos ni Ben,” a humorous story about a boy searching for his missing shoe, only to realize he had been wearing it all along. The activity entertained the students while teaching attentiveness and presence of mind.

Meanwhile the group of older students learned about the history and development of the Filipino language, from Tagalog to Filipino as the country’s national language.

The students of Silid Aralan sa Embahada Termino IV commemorated Buwan ng Panitikang Pilipino on Saturday, 25 April 2026, at the Embassy of the Philippines in Stockholm, Sweden.

As part of the celebration, teachers Ms. Rofilleta Refuerzo-Larsson and Ms. Jella Galabo facilitated an engaging storytelling session featuring the book “Ang Paaralan ni Fuwan”, which centers around Fuwan, a girl who enjoys attending classes but was one day asked by her father to help in the farm rather than go to school. When Fuwan missed her classes, her teacher and classmates visited her and offered to help in the farm as a form of “ugfu” or “bayanihan”. The children enjoyed helping out on the farm and Fuwan was able to return to class the following day.

The story underscored to the Silid Aralan students that while education is important, there are also other lessons that matter - “ugfu” or cooperation, kindness, and respect. It also emphasized that learning can be fun and can come in different forms.

To continue the celebration of the Buwan ng Panitikang Pilipino, the Silid Aralan students played an interactive game on teamwork and “ugfu.” END.
