DYK? Father's Day was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd in Spokane, Washington, in 1909. Sonora wanted to celebrate her father, William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran and a single parent who raised six children by himself.

Father’s Day is celebrated on different dates worldwide. However, many countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and India, celebrate it on the third Sunday in June.
In countries like Spain and Portugal, Father's Day is observed on March 19, which coincides with St. Joseph's Day, a day dedicated to Joseph, the husband of Mary and the earthly father of Jesus in the Catholic tradition.

In Thailand, Father's Day is celebrated on December 5, the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and includes acts of charity and giving to monks.

Happy Father's Day to our life's pillar, a tough guide on the path of life. You are loved and appreciated every day.

Thank you Daddy, Papa, Tatay!

Today, we celebrate the bravery and resilience of our heroes who fought for our freedom. This day marks the birth of the First Philippine Republic and is celebrated as a national holiday.

But DYK?

The original Philippine Independence Day was on June 12, 1898. This is the date that Emilio Aguinaldo, leader of the Philippine Revolution, declared independence from Spain.

The date was changed to July 4, 1946 to commemorate the Philippines gaining independence from the United States. However, in 1962, President Diosdado Macapagal issued Proclamation No. 38 to changing it back to June 12th.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mums!

ICYDK: Mother's Day celebrations trace back to several historical precedents and evolved over time into the holiday we recognize today. The roots of Mother's Day can be attributed to different events and individuals in history who sought to honor mothers and the contributions of women.

One of the earliest calls for a Mother's Day came from Julia Ward Howe, a Boston poet, pacifist, and women's suffragist. In 1872, she established a special day for mothers – and for peace – partly as a response to the horrors of the Civil War. Howe envisioned it as a day advocating for peace, where mothers would gather to prevent the losses and suffering that come from war.

The more direct lineage of the modern Mother's Day celebration in the United States, however, began with Anna Jarvis. Following her mother's passing in 1905, Jarvis conceived Mother's Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children. Beginning with a memorial service for her own mother on May 12, 1907, Jarvis embarked on a campaign to recognize Mother's Day as a national holiday. Her efforts bore fruit when, in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially established the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. Jarvis envisioned the holiday as a personal celebration between mothers and families, emphasizing the importance of showing appreciation for mothers through handwritten letters expressing love and gratitude, rather than through commercial gifts.

The idea of a day dedicated to mothers also found roots in other traditions worldwide, such as the UK's "Mothering Sunday." This tradition, originating from the 16th century, fell on the fourth Sunday of Lent and was a time when people would return to their "mother church" for a special service. Over time, this religious day took on a more secular tone, becoming an occasion for honoring mothers with gifts and flowers.

Despite the commercialization of the holiday, which Anna Jarvis later fought against, Mother's Day continues to be a significant day for celebrating and appreciating mothers and mother figures worldwide.

Under the theme "Kalutong Filipino: Lakas ng Kabataang Makabago," the festival, a collaborative effort led by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Antique Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office (APTCAO), aimed to ignite the younger generation's passion for Filipino culinary traditions deeply rooted in culture and identity.

The College of Industrial Technology (CIT) extends its heartfelt congratulations to the three exceptional students: Analy Onting, Edrian Cabarles, and Cean Pagunaling, as well as to the dedicated FST instructors, for their outstanding performance in the Nanam Antique Cook-Off Competition.
