Salu - Salo (Gathering)
Last week 10 of June we start celebrating the Filipino culture. So the first thing that we thought our fella classmate was our languages. Here is some greeting in the Philippines, the first one is called kamusta, that's mean it's hi or how are you in English. Opo or po is also a manner in the Philippines. Opo or po means yes or here, you say that when an older say come here.
Every day after school we practice our dance that we are gonna do on the very last event of the Filipino Salu - Salo. Our dance is called Carinosa, Carinosa means loving or affectionate one.
On the second day, we play some Filipino games. Tubang preso is one of the games that we play in. Many Filipino like to play tubang preso because it is a traditional game in the Philippines, Tumbang preso It is usually played in backyards, parks, or in streets when there is little vehicular traffic.
On the third day of the salu - salo we stay at school until 4 in the afternoon because we have to practice and memorize our dance. On the next day
Finally, the day that we were waiting for, it’s the salu-salo. Many Filipino families gather at our school and they also bring some food for all of us to eat when we finish performing. some teacher from our school also come over to watch us, we really appreciate that.
