Buwan Ng Wika At Linggo Ng Wika

Hello August! Or should I say Maligayang Pagdating Agosto!

This month is a very busy month for me, my kids and well, all the moms out there. It’s Buwan Ng Wika! sya ako ay mag tatagalog muna…

Ang Agosto ay dineklara ni Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos bilang Pambansang Buwan ng Wika. Ayon sa kasaysayan ang Linggo ng Wika ay nauna nang itinalaga sa petsang mula ika-27 ng Marso hanggang ika-2 ng Abril ni Pangulong Sergio Osmeña. Nabago ito ng magkaroon ng proklamasyon si Pangulong Ramon Magsaysay. Ang pagdiriwang ay tinalaga sa petsang mula ika-13 hanggang ika-19 ng Mayo. Sa pagbabagong ito naging impossible para sa mga mag- aaral at guro na makisali sa selebrasyon ng Linggo ng Wika.

Ang pagtatakda ng Linggo ng Wika sa buwan ng Agosto ay tinalaga ni Pangulong Corazon Aquino. Ito ay ipinagdiriwang mula ika-13 hanggang ika19 ng Agosto taon taon. Ito din ay ginaganap sa buwan ng Agosto bilang pagpupugay sa kaarawan ng Ama ng Wikang Pambansa na si Manuel L. Quezon.

Ang Linggo ng Wika at Buwan ng Wika sa kasalukuyan ay opisyal na pagdiriwang sa bansa at nakatala sa listahan ng mga kultural na pagdiriwang.

Ano- ano ang mga karaniwang ginagawa tuwing Linggo ng Wika?

Sa mga paaralan ito ay ipinagdriwang sa pamamagitan ng mga paligsahan gaya nga paligsahan sa Sabayang Pagbikas, paligsahan sa paggawa ng slogan at iba pa. Ang mga mag -aaral ay pumaparada na nakasuot ng mga damit Filipino gaya ng Barong Tagalog para sa lalaki at Baro’t Saya naman sa babae.

Kadalasan ang mga paaralan ay nagsasagawa din ng paligsahan sa pagsasayaw ng mga kultural na sayaw gaya ng Tinikling at Pandango sa Ilaw. Isa sa mga pamosong kanta naman na ginagamit ng mga mag-aaral ay ang kantang Mamang Sorbetero habang nakasuot ng damit na kamesa de Tsino at nakasuot ng sumbrero.

Sa paaralan ng aking anak, sila ay karaniwan ng pinag susuot ng mga damit pang Bayani. Ang bawat mag -aaral ay nagdadamit Jose Rizal o kaya naman ay Andres Bonifacio. Sila din ay gumagawa ng Akronim para sa Buwan ng Wika.

Judy Ann Santos’ Message to Moms

During the intimate Luncheon with Miss Judy Ann Santos, I had he chance to capture her on video and her message to all the moms specially to new moms. Please watch the video below:

I was only able to capture parts of her interview and here’s a transcript of the vieo above:

When asked about the plans of working with Sharon Cuneta and Sarah Geronimo:

sana naman matuloy di ba.. napakagandang proyekto na makasama si Sharon at Sarah.. parehong artista down to earth at masarap katrabaho..

When asked if the reason why she lessen her work load is because she does not want to lessen the time she spent with here kids:

isa po un… d mo pede i-rewind ang milestones ng anak mo.. ayaw ko mawalan ako ng panahon sa mga bata.. mas namimis ko ang mga anak ko kesa pag iyak ko…

And here is Judy Ann’s message to moms:

Enjoy every moment that you had with your child or your children because you cannot turn back time anymore.

It’s really important that you explain each and every decision that you make with your child.. Important also to be honest with your children.

It’s important too have communication with your parents.

Judy Ann For Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath

When I received an invite for an intimate luncheon with Ms. Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, I was overjoyed. I would love to meet Judy Ann Santos herself and hear stories about her new found craft, motherhood

During the luncheon, we were welcomed with cocktails and music from Noelle Cassandra. Angel Jacob hosted the event where she and Judy Ann talked about motherhood and of course Alagang Johnson’s.

Judy Ann talks about how hard it is to leave the house, a dilemma that veeyr moms face. She sad that she always make it a point to be at home as early as possible and she said that even she only has a few hours of sleep she wakes up really early so she can have breakfast with her family. She also make sure that before she goes out for work, Yohan already left for school.

“When you’re a mother, you are faced with decisions that will have huge bearing on your family and children,” as Judy Ann puts it, but when it comes to taking care of their skin, she only trust Johnson’s and Johnson’s. Their family pediatrician says that toddler skin and baby skin are the same and so even if her two babies, Yohan and Lucho are years apart, she only trust on product for their skin, Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath. “Just like how it took care of my skin while growing up, it takes such good care of Yohan and Lucho’s skin, so I’m definitely gonna keep using Johnson’s!” Judy Ann adds.

We had the chance to ask question to Judy Ann and one of the question that was asked as what is her favorite boding moment with her kids and taking a bath and playing with bubbles was her answer.

After the intimate luncheon, press interviewed her with upcoming projects, motherhood and some more.. as we mommy bloggers wait for our turn to have a photo ops with her.. and even with her busy schedule, she was very kind to accommodate us:

I wanted to ask her about jewelry fashion trends for moms (her earrings are stunning) but asked a more parenting related question instead. I asked her about sibling rivalry and how they were able to prepare Yohan about Lucho. She said that they prepared Yohan well nad right now the kids are not showing any signs of siblings rivalry. Way to go Juday and Ryan!

Here are some facts about Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath:

Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath gently cleanses their delicate skin and prevents dryness, which may lead to irritation. It has 100% more milk proteins and vitamins A and E that gives the necessary nourishment to skin. It is also CLINICALLY PROVEN MILD and has NO MORE TEARS FORMULA ensuring gentle cleansing for babies until their toddler years, and even for mommies.

FYI, my little girl Sati is also a Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath user since she was a baby
