🇵🇭 Buwan ng Wika 2026: Balik Tanaw, Balik Wika! 🇵🇭

Kahapon, 19 Agosto 2026, nakiisa ang Philippine Consulate General in Barcelona sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika, kasama ang Barcelona-based Filipino teacher na si Sky Taganas, sa isang makabuluhan at malikhaing araw para sa kabataang Pilipino.

Hinati sa dalawang batch ang mga kabataang dumalo. Sa unang batch, natutunan ng mga bata ang sining ng paghahabi ng banig, isang hands-on activity na nagbigay-daan sa kanila upang matuto habang ginagamit ang kanilang creativity. Sa ikalawang batch naman, ang mga teenagers ay nagdisenyo ng kanilang sariling MassKara, hango sa isa sa mga pinakamakulay na tradisyong kultural ng Pilipinas. 🎨

Bahagi rin ng programa ang pagkukuwento ng mga kilalang maikling kuwentong Pilipino, upang mas makilala at mapahalagahan ng mga kabataan ang ating wika, panitikan, at kulturang Pilipino. 📚

Sa pamamagitan ng sining, kuwento, at sama-samang pagkatuto, patuloy nating naipapasa sa bagong henerasyon ang pagmamahal sa wikang Filipino at kulturang Pilipino—kahit saan man tayo naroroon sa mundo.

Maligayang Buwan ng Wika! Mabuhay ang wikang Filipino! 🇵🇭
