FPVI celebrated Christmas 2025 with a special focus on the home front. The idea was meant to complement the photo exhibition commemorating the 76th founding of the Municipality of Tunga in the lobby of the municipal hall. Moved and inspired, the FPVI students wrote about their personal reflections on Tunga and painted local places and sceneries having a special connection to them.
The art pieces were mounted on display towers made from amakan, a traditional Filipino woven mat made from split bamboo and popularly used as wall panels in rural huts. The opening of the exhibition was graced by parents/guardians, teachers, volunteers and friends of FPVI who, unsure what to expect, viewed the artworks with surprised delight and pride.
Following the viewing of the exhibit, the students read their written personal reflections on Tunga to raucous laughter, though a snivel or two could be heard in between the readings. Over merienda cena, the students and guests reflected on what they presented, seen and heard, probably an uncommon way of celebrating Christmas but everyone had a wholesome time!
