Larong Pinoy: Rekindling Childhood Joys
Earlier in the month, on Tuesday, 7 May, the Filipino Club members gathered to reconnect with their cultural roots through ‘Larong Pinoy’ – a celebration of traditional Filipino games. Members enthusiastically participated, channeling their inner Filipino child with games like Bring Me!, Nanay-Tatay, Jack-en-Poy, Piko, BINGO, and Pinoy Henyo. We filled the room with laughter, camaraderie, and the nostalgic joy of reliving childhood memories.
Both events highlighted the rich history and culture of the Philippines and strengthened the bonds among the Filipino Club members. Through the Philippines History Quiz Bee and Larong Pinoy, members celebrated their heritage with pride and enthusiasm, creating memories to be cherished for years to come.
Stay tuned for more exciting events as the Filipino Club continues celebrating and preserving Filipino culture!
