Sharing by Ms Charlize Narag

The Citizenship & Social Development (CSD) Department was very excited to have invited alumna Ms Charlize Narag (S6 graduate of 2021) to share the Filipino culture with classes 4A and 4C on June 26.  Have a Filipino origin, Charlize was born and raised in Hong Kong.  She shared how she struggled with her confusing senses of identity as a teenager and how she finally came to embrace her multiple identities now.  She prides herself as being the sole translator for her family and she enjoys this unique role.  In a light-hearted side, Charlize shared with the classes interesting Filipino culture such as food, the way to greet an elderly, the beautiful landscape of the Philippines, Christmas celebrations etc.  What was more, she answered questions on stereotyping and living as an ethnic minority in Hong Kong.  Charlize wrapped up the sharing by treating all of us some delicious Filipino snacks.
