To celebrate Philippine National Heritage Month, the Philippine Consulate General in New York and Sentro Rizal New York featured \u201cOnce Upon the Sun & Sea: Indigenous Stories and Folk Tales from the Philippines\u201d by authors Jo Tiongson-Perez and Denise Orosa at a book reading that drew a diverse crowd of approximately 50 attendees, including 25 children.\u00a0\n\nBefore reading three stories from their book, Tiongson-Perez and Orosa shared how they visited various indigenous communities in the Philippines to curate the eleven stories that they then translated into English. \u201cWe wanted to widen the space for children\u2019s stories beyond the Western classics by authors such as Hans Christian Andersen and Brothers Grimm by presenting folk tales from our indigenous communities which children from all backgrounds can also relate with,\u201d said Tiongson-Perez.\n\nIn his welcoming remarks, Consul General Senen T. Mangalile praised the authors\u2019 efforts to ensure authenticity by directly working with the source communities. \u201cTheir collaboration with indigenous storytellers ensures that the stories from our indigenous communities are preserved and shared with the utmost respect and care,” Noting the presence of many non-Filipinos in the audience, Mangalile added that \u201cthese stories are not just tales of the Filipino people but universal stories of adventure, values, and the human spirit that resonate with everyone, no matter where you come from.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The authors also conducted an interactive art activity with the children, teaching them how to create Philippine eagle masks inspired by “Tulelangan,” an epic song of the Ilianen Manobo people. This helped deepen the children\u2019s connection to one of the characters featured in one of the stories in the book.\n\nHeld at the Philippine Center in Manhattan on 4 May, the book reading was the kickoff event for the month-long observance of National Heritage Month, which coincides with the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, also observed every May in the United States.\n\nThe gathering also served as a precursor to the upcoming Paaralan sa Konsulado (PSK), a flagship educational initiative by the Philippine Consulate General in New York. This annual program, conducted every July in partnership with the Association of Filipino Teachers in America (AFTA), immerses young Filipino-Americans in their cultural heritage through comprehensive language, history, arts, and values workshops.\u00a0 <\/span>END<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
