What are the school uniforms like in the Philippines?
By Teacher Venus 


In general, school uniforms here are designed to be simple, neat, and practical. They help students stay comfortable in the tropical weather while also promoting equality inside the classroom. 

Girls usually wear a white blouse matched with a pleated, knee-length skirt. Some schools add ribbons, ties, or collars in their official colors. 

Boys often wear a plain white polo shirt, either short or long-sleeved, with dark trousers—black, navy, or brown. A small school logo is sometimes stitched on the pocket. 

Shoes are almost always black leather paired with white socks. Sneakers are generally reserved for P.E. 

Uniforms here aren’t just about clothes. They stand for discipline, school pride, and unity. 

They remain a big part of student life in the Philippines. Uniforms continue to shape not only how students look, but also how they carry their school identity with them every day.

Undas: A Filipino Celebration of Remembrance and Family
By Teacher Cally 


For many Filipinos, November 1st isn't just All Saints' Day; it's Undas. More than a solemn holiday, Undas is a deeply personal and meaningful tradition that brings families together across the archipelago. It's a time when our love for our departed ancestors and loved one shines brightest, a testament to the strong family ties that are at the heart of Filipino culture. The observance of Undas often begins days before November 1st. Families travel back to their provinces, sometimes enduring long bus rides and heavy traffic, all for the chance to be with relatives and visit the family's final resting place. The cemeteries transform into vibrant, bustling communities. Graves are meticulously cleaned, repainted, and adorned with fresh flowers—from simple bouquets to elaborate wreaths of chrysanthemums and everlasting flowers. Candles are lit, their flickering flames a silent prayer and a beacon for the souls we've come to visit.  

    But Undas isn't just about cleaning and decorating. It's a reunion. Families gather around the gravesite, spreading out blankets and feasting on favorite dishes of the deceased, from pansit and adobo to lechon. Stories and laughter fill the air as generations share memories of those who have passed on. Children play, cousins catch up, and elders recount family histories. It's a day that blurs the line between sorrow and celebration, proving that remembrance can be a joyful, communal experience.
