Although often regarded as "The MOST INFAMOUS President of the Philippines", Ferdinand Marcos, I think is one of the greatest presidents of the Philippines. I know, I know, I wasn't even born during his reign. And base on what I usually hear, Ferdinand Marcos seems to be a curse. But is his reign was really all about corruption, Martial Law, and his wife's shoes? I mean, he did some good things, too. Some may say I really don't know, since I wasn't even born then.
Anyway, I don't mean to make my post somehow political.
This is just about my daughter during their Nutrition Month, which by the way, happens every July of the year, in observance to the PRESIDENTIAL DECREE No. 491, adopted, approved, and made as part of the law of the land by the then President Ferdinand E. Marcos.
This years theme: "Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw ito Ihain"
As a part of their school's celebration, the kinder students were assigned different vegetables, and were asked to wear vegetable costumes with nutritional contents, from recycled materials.
Being a stage mom that I am, of course, I made one for her.
Sitaw or String Beans were assigned to her.
I used net bags which we painted green to make the sitaw, and her Tinkerbell dress as the "base".

and because I'm obedient, her Sitaw dress was made from recycled materials, and has it's nutritional contents.

Some of her classmates:
The nursery students were there, too, so my little brother was there.
They wore hats with images of vegetables and fruits.
They had a parade, and a recitation.
After the mini-program, they headed to their respective classrooms, and were fed fruits and vegetables.
Meet my Sitaw :)
