TACLOBAN CITY 13 August 2020 – In celebration of the Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa at Kasaysayan, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Consular Office (CO) in Tacloban launched its month-long “Padayon Kita” series through a digital platform on 07 August 2020.

The Consular Office kicked-off the celebrations with a poetry reading featuring quintessential patriotic poems, namely: “Sa Aking Mga Kabata” and Jose Corazon de Jesus’ “Bayan Ko”. Also featured was a “Siday” (a poem written in the Waray language) entitled “Pilipinas” by Casiano L. Trinchera, and an original work of one of Consular Office’s personnel, Ms. Danilyn B. Servande, entitled “Balik-Tanaw”. This event was held during Consular Office’s weekly virtual meeting attended by both its on-duty and work-from-home (WFH) personnel. 

The poetry reading is the first installation of the month-long Padayon Kita series which aims to patronize our rich language and history. The remaining Fridays of the month will also feature Philippine folklores, original Filipino compositions including Consular Office’s original song, “Kara Na”, and a short program to commemorate our national heroes.
