Philippine Faire 2014
Adora Lily Svitak, an American child prodigy and internationally published author , in her book Flying Fingers states that “Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.” This is what happened on May 17, 2014 at Roger Egger Park, Coronado, San Diego. The Philippine Faire 2014, dubbed as the Festival of Festivals, sponsored by the Council of Pilipino American Organizations (COPAO) headed by its President Dr. Reynaldo Monzon and the Council for Teaching Filipino Language and Culture (CTFLC) headed by Ms. Mary Rose Peralta open a portal for teachers as well as school administrators to build a bridge for students to understand and enjoy Filipino culture. At 8:00 a.m. students, with their respective teachers converge at the park in order to start a short parade where they display and make a brief presentation/performance of different festivals in their colorful costumes. Below is the complete program for the day. Program Parade of Schools
