Silay Institute donated hygiene kits and school supplies to Sibato Integrated School last September 15, 2021.

The donation was part of the Brigada Eskwela 2021 program with the theme: ” Bayanihan Para sa Paaralan” to support and assist the teachers in delivering quality education amidst this pandemic in their school community for the benefit of our IP learners.

SI also extended voluntary work by helping the parents and teachers of Sibato IS in the beautification and cleaning of their school as part of the said program.

 

Taon-taon, sa buwan ng Agosto ay ginugunita ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika. Ang gawaing ito ay naglalayon na pagtibayin at palaganapin ang kamalayan ng mga Pilipino sa pagpapahalaga sa ating sariling wika.

Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wikang Filipino 2021 ay “Filipino at mga Wikang Katutubo sa Dekolonisasyon ng Pag-iisip ng mga Pilipino.”

Ayon sa Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino “ ang temang ito ay pakikiisa ng Komisyon sa 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the Philippines ( 2021 QCP ) na kung saan ito ay pagdalumat sa mga mahahalagang kaganapan sa ating bansa sa nakaraang 500 na taon partikular na sa Kautusang Tagapagpaganap Bilang 103 na mahigpit na nagtatagubiling ang mga pagdiriwang ay nararapat na maging “ Filipino-centric “ na kung saan masasalamin sa mga Pilipino ang mga pananaw at nagbabantayog sa pag-unawa at damdamin ng pagmamalaki sa ating mga ninuno at mayamang pamanang kultural sa porma ng panitikan, wika, mga sining at iba pang manipestasyong kultural. Nararapat ding bigyang-diin nito ang pagkakilanlan ng mga Pilipino at kahalagahan ukol sa pagkakaisa, kahinahunan, at kalayaan.

Ang institusyong Silay Institute ay kaisa at kaagapay sa ganitong hangarin. Sinisigurado ng institusyong ito na maikintal, maisapuso at maisabuhay ng mga mag-aaral ang pagpapahalaga sa wika at panatilihing maaging maalab at marubdob ang pagmamahal sa bansang Pilipinas.

To welcome the freshmen and new students of the SY 2021-2022, Silay Institute had its Admittance Day last August 27, 2021. The event was filled with activities where both new and old students participated. There were inter-level games, Tiktok challenge and talent showcase.

The said activity was also made possible through the support of the Supreme Student Government of Junior High School and Senior High School Departments and the Supreme Student Council of the College Department.

Silay Institute won Third Place in the Short Documentary Contest on the IP/Peace Education Initiatives of Higher Education Institutions as part of the CHED’s celebration of the 54th ASEAN Founding Anniversary with the theme, “Padyak! Moving Forward, Claiming Victory for Philippine Higher Education in the ASEAN Community”.

SI together with the Sibato Bukidnon’s Tribe came up with this short documentary film that featured the latter’s traditions, customs and beliefs whilst showing the importance of education in shaping their lives as Indigenous People.

The said contest aimed to increase awareness and promote the importance of the integration of the Indigenous Peoples/Peace Education in the activities of higher education institutions.
