Where the joy and cheer are blooming bright,

The festival's vibrant with delight.

Celebrate being forever strong,

The notes and words of the leader's song.

For the sounds of bamboo sticks clicking,

With the echoes of amused cooing.

All will dance with dedication for,

An ancient waltz of their ancestor.

Filipino groups carry the weight,

Of a big hefty Kubo house plate.

Their strong spirit of Bayanihan,

doesn't go unseen by anyone.

The very first touch of soft fabrics,

It tells the story of a man's antics.

For that would make certain history,

From a cloth that feels so velvety.

In a small home, a lively birthday party was being held. The birthday girl, Momo, was celebrating with her mother and her three closest friends: Mary, Sarah, and Harley. Everyone was excited to celebrate and have fun together. When it was time to eat, Momo's mother brought out a container of Lumpia wrappers. Momo’s friends were hungry at the sight, but Momo frowned.

"Mom, I don’t want to eat whatever this is. It looks so bad! What’s the point of all this Philippine stuff?” Momo complained.

Her mother responded gently, “Momo, this is delicious food from the Philippines. You should love and appreciate our culture.”

Mary chimed in, “Yeah, Momo! Our culture is so unique! Have you heard of the Giant Lantern Festival in Pampanga? It’s so colorful and vibrant—it’s amazing!”

Sarah added, “And the famous Tinikling dance! The way the dancers move so fast and gracefully between the clicking bamboo poles is incredible!”

“Don’t forget the breathtaking views from the top of Mt. Pinatubo!” Harley exclaimed. “The blue skies and green hills are unforgettable.”

Hearing her friends’ excitement, Momo began to realize how special Filipino culture truly was. “Is that so? Oh, I’m really sorry then.” she said, feeling a little embarrassed. Her mom smiled. “That’s nice to hear, Momo. Now, come on, try the lumpia wrappers—they’re delicious!” Momo hesitantly took a bite, and to her surprise, she loved its taste.

The birthday party carried on, filled with laughter and joy. That day, Momo not only celebrated her birthday but also appreciated Filipino traditions onwards.
