Highlighting the school's dedication in nurturing both Filipino and indigenous languages, Digos City National High School (DiCNHS) closed its month-long Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa observance on August 27, 2025, with a cultural showcase anchored on the theme: โPaglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa.โ
To formally open the program, Principal Noba J. Rubion emphasized in her remarks that studentsโ discipline and adherence to school rules serve as foundations of cultural identity and national unity. Likewise, guest speaker Punong Barangay Douglas E. Arrogante affirmed the communityโs support for sustaining regional language preservation.
Notably, โProject Basa,โ dance performance was presentated by select students promoting the Divisionโs reading campaign. Following this was the Parada ng Kasuotan, which featured 40 pairs of lakan and lakambini in native-inspired attire.
In addition, a spelling bee focusing on Filipino and indigenous vocabulary was conducted before the second parade. Afterwards, Ma'am Josephine A. Daclison announced the top five entries and presented the official judging framework.
Meanwhile, the afternoon session, which ran from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., opened with a Makabayang Awitin, a spelling, and akadang-kadang contest. Furthermore, traditional Filipino games were introduced during the Pagbasa sa Mekanikal ng Laro ng Lahi. An intermission number then transitioned into the Awiting Bayan contest, where participants performed folk songs that were assessed using established rubrics.
Finally, winners in each category were formally recognized before the event concluded with a closing prayer.
The program, supported by teachers, students, school organizations, and technical staff, reflected DiCNHSโs commitment to celebrating Filipino and indigenous languages as vital pillars of national pride.
