FATHERS' DAY

by Wandering Attercop

In the Philippines, Fathers' Day is celebrated every 3rd Sunday of June. This year it falls on June 17. Like Mother's Day, Fathers' Day is not a holiday but is being celebrated by Filipino families.

There are many ways on how to show love and appreciation for our dads on this special occasion:

1. If you do not do it often, you may treat your dad for lunch or dinner. I would be fun if the whole family is present.

2. If you have limited budget, organize a simple meal for the whole family. Cook all his favorite dishes. He would surely enjoy it.

3. Give him a gift. For example, if your dad is a music lover, give him a cd of his favorite artist or a selection of his favorite "old songs."

4. For kids, a personalized card is a cute token.

5. Do activities he loves doing. If your dad is into basketball, play with him in your backyard or in your neighborhood basketball court.

6. Nothing beats a warm greeting and hugs and kisses.

Fathers usually are the most quiet person in the family. They are not used to expressing their feelings and affection towards you. This is the perfect time to say "I love you" and it will say it all.

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY TO ALL THE LOVING DADS!!!
