It has been four days since the month of August, but we still have Buwan ng Wika fever, thanks to the parents who sent photos of their children clad in traditional garb. It all started when mom Andrei Salvador-Belardo, whose tiny DIY dollhouse previously caught our eye, shared with us another one of her DIY creations — a Filipiniana costume made out of "banig"! It got us thinking — what other creations did other parents come up with for this school activity?
Whether they went the DIY route or just bought costumes from the store, these moms and dads showed that they were willing to go the extra mile for their kids to look their best and be able to celebrate this school activity in style.
Scroll down for our favorites!
