Chelsea's NATIONAL HEROES DAY PROJECT

In the Philippines, the birthday of Andres Bonifacio, the founder of the KKK, or Kataastaasang, Kagalanggalangan Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan, is commemorated as National Heroes Day on November 30. This is because Andres Bonifacio was born on November 30.

It was then amended and moved to the fourth Monday of August to honor the men and women, known and unknown, who gave their lives defending our country, the Philippines.

This day is celebrated with a great deal of fervor by the people. A day that is ideal for commemorating the lives and contributions of our GREAT PEOPLE who gave their lives and battled for the independence of the Philippines.

In this, kids from different schools pay tribute to our NATIONAL HEROES by writing essays and making postcards of people they look up to and admire.

Chelsea's Works:

  

My youngest daughter has a lot of respect for all of our NATIONAL HEROES, and she wants to know more about them. She even asks her grandfather to tell her everything about GOMBURZA, ANDRES BONIFACIO, RIZAL, etc. At school, they talk about this, but she wants to know more.

The Department of Education wants all public and private schools to talk about the bravery and patriotism of our national heroes in classroom discussions and other related activities in subjects like Sibika at Kultura, Hekasi, Araling Panlipunan, Values Education, Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health, Filipino, and English. Teachers have been holding contests and debates in which students write essays, draw pictures, tell stories, or give speeches. The goal is to teach students about the values of heroism, nationalism, patriotism, and love of country that our country's heroes showed during hard times.

As we celebrate our NATIONAL HEROES, let us not forget the heroes who make our country something to be proud of. Among our MODERN DAY HEROES are OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers), PUBLIC and PRIVATE TEACHERS, NURSES, DOCTORS, NOT EPAL POLITICIANS, and others. Their ongoing efforts in making their jobs truly bless and are remarkable in the eyes of the Filipino people.
