Rainy Day Rules with Kumusta Pusa!

✔ Walk, don’t run
✔ Wear bright colors
✔ Stay close to grown-ups
✔ Help friends if they slip
✔ Say “Are you okay?”

Rainy days are fun when we’re careful 💛
That’s how good friends take care of each other!
Rainy days remind us why being prepared matters 🧰
A Prepared Puspin means having what you need before you need it — so you can stay calm, kind, and ready to help others.Prepared Puspin keeps these ready when it rains:

☑ Small flashlight
☑ Extra slippers or socks
☑ Reusable water bottle
☑ Light rain jacket or poncho
☑ Phone charger or power bank
☑ Important numbers written down
☑ Snacks for long waits or outages

💛 Prepared doesn’t mean scared
💛 Prepared means caring

⸻

When we’re prepared, we can check on neighbors,
share supplies, and help kūpuna and keiki.

That’s a Prepared Puspin.
That’s Magalang! BTW, are the roads slippery?

Kumusta Pusa L💛ves Pasko! What a kilig-filled day celebrating our 2nd year of Pasko sa FilCom.
Kumusta Pusa had the honor of joining families, friends, and cultural leaders for a joyful day rooted in Filipino heritage, holiday spirit, and togetherness.

Kumusta Pusa Highlights:
• Meeting families and kabataan from across our community
• Sharing smiles, hugs, and photos with our favorite Puspin fans

• Supporting local vendors and small businesses
• Spreading the joy of storytelling, childhood literacy, and cultural pride
• Taking part in a day filled with laughter, food, games, and holiday cheer

From festive performances to meaningful conversations, Pasko sa FilCom reminded us that the heart of the season is connection, culture, and community.

Maraming salamat to the FilCom Board Members, Filipino Junior Chamber of Commerce, the organizers, volunteers, performers, and everyone who stopped by to say “Kumusta!” and purchased more books and merchandise.

It's Wikang Huwebes. Here are two words for this Thursday: Kalabaw - Water Buffalo and Bakero - Cowboy. Kumusta Pusa Loves Kalabaw and dreams of being a Bakero! Follow your dreams. A message from Kumusta Pusa for today.... "Kaya mo ‘yan. Kasama mo ako sa bawat hakbang.”
"You can do this. I’m with you every step of the way.” BTW Lone Star Palengke was almost two weeks ago. Can't stop thinking about how much fun it was to meet everyone that braved the cold and wind. Definitely a contrast from the rice fields of the Philippines.

At the Lone Star Palengke, the Giant Kumusta Pusa plush was won… by a Charlie M. and then, in a beautiful twist, gifted to a little girl, Zia, who simply loved her most. A moment of pure kindness, compassion, and community. That’s the real spirit of !

MEOW’RAMING SALAMAT, from the bottom of this little Puspin’s heart 💛🐾🤙🏽🇵🇭🇺🇸

To every Kumusta Pusa fan, Kapamilya, Kaibigan, Puspin Pal, organization, creator, collaborator, educator, supporter, partner, volunteer, reader, librarian and dreamer who has stood beside Kumusta Pusa™ — thank you very much!!! Kumusta Pusa is Thankful…

Your kindness, encouragement, creativity, and belief in this little Pusang Pinoy’s big mission to promote childhood literacy and cultural awareness have helped turn a simple idea into a growing movement rooted in Filipino culture, heritage, and love for learning all things Filipino/a/x.

From classrooms to festivals, from family homes to libraries, from quiet encouragement to loud celebration — you made space for these stories to live and for our heritage to be seen, heard, and honored.

This journey is still just beginning, and it continues because of you.

Salamat sa pagsuporta.
Salamat sa pagmamahal.
Salamat sa paniniwala.

With every page we turn, every child we inspire, and every smile we share — your spirit walks with us. 🐾✨

From Kumusta Pusa and the Arawko family: Much Mahalo, Agyamanak, and Thank you for believing in culture, creativity, and community. Kita Kits!

The shadow looks strong… but in the strength, I see gentleness too. Isn’t that the best kind of friend?
