In a vibrant display of cultural appreciation, teachers of San Jacinto National high school celebrated ASEAN Month during flag ceremony and the Grade 7 students participated the said flag raising, their teachers proudly donned traditional ASEAN attire, with some wearing Traditional clothes of different Asian countries, showcasing the rich heritage of the region.

Last week's flag ceremony served as an educational opportunity, where students learned about ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), a political and economic union of 10 member states in Southeast Asia, promoting intergovernmental cooperation and facilitating economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration. Founded on August 8, 1967, ASEAN aims to accelerate economic growth, social progress, and cultural development in the region, as well as promote regional peace and stability.

This visual representation of ASEAN's diverse cultures through the teachers' attire provided a meaningful and engaging learning experience for the students, reinforcing the importance of understanding and appreciating the wider Southeast Asian community.
