'This vibrant cultural presentation brings together the Filipino school community in the UAE in a celebration of diversity, heritage, and unity through the universal language of dance,' said a school representative. 'Our students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 have prepared an array of cultural performances representing various countries, fostering global awareness and appreciation among the youth.'
