Each year during August, we celebrate Buwan Ng Wika - National Language Month. We at Suyomano believe that promoting the traditional Filipino Language and embracing the fullness of Filipino heritage will spark a cultural movement that celebrates and connects the global community through cultural understanding. We are proud to partner with Sentro Rizal and the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C.

With a rich history and over 100 different, individual languages, this national celebration aim to promote the beauty of diversity, while actively raising awareness of the different traditional features of Filipino languages. This month-long celebration will feature four events and special guests.  We believe that all efforts towards the promotion of our languages, cultural diversity and ethnic representation are essential to global diplomacy and mutual understanding among nations. Together, we can make a stand for unity in diversity!
