For the past 11 years, NIHONGO FIESTA 2016 has been a successful and highly-anticipated event for Japanese learners and Japan-culture enthusiasts in the Philippines. The event on February 27, includes The 43rd Japanese Speech Contest which provides the contestants from as far as Cebu and Davao an avenue to express their Nihongo fluency through their own original composition on a theme of their choice.
Both the Champion and the Outstanding Performance Awardee will be granted an all-expense paid, week-long study tour in Japan.
Also included in the program is the 8th Nihongo Quiz Bee for High School Students. Watch as 42 students from different high schools in the country outsmart each other in the field of Japanese language and culture.
