BACK TO BASICS ‼️📝

For our 1st Sadya of 2026, we brought it back to the basic greetings and introduction in Tagalog! We went over the use of “po” in a conversation and introduction phrases like “Good morning/ Magandang Umaga”. 💖

Let us know of any themes or topics you’d be interested in learning this year in the comments below! ⬇️💬

In the Tagalog language, Tanim primarily means plant or to plant something. 🌱🌿🌾🍃

We at Filipinas of HamOnt are excited to share the work rooted from the past five years and the name change to Tanim, embodying what we are currently doing and hope to be.

Tanim is a beginning. Tanim is investing. Tanim is the unseen growth of something that will surface one day. Tanim is loving, attentive care and gentle nurturing. Tanim Collective will continue the work and build on what FoH started.

Tanim Collective is a community focused on learning Filipino language, history and culture.

We are thankful for your time, energy, love and support and we are looking forward to this new journey.

We would like to thank McMaster Office of Community Engagment, SACHA and Hamilton Public Library. These organizations made it possible for Sadya to continue.


Team Tanim will be comprised of the same ates and titas.
- Ate Jennie, Ate Jess and Ate Jeanne!

As we plan 2026, let us know in the comments, what Filipino languages or topics are you interested in learning?
