Promoting childhood literacy and cultural awareness.
Kumusta Pusa believes in the power of connection and culture.
Inspired by the Filipino spirit of warmth, resilience, and joy, Kumusta Pusa loves making friends and embodies a love for heritage and a playful approach to life.
Her philosophy is simple: celebrate where you come from, stay curious, and greet every day (and everyone) with a heart full of kindness.
As the main character of the “Kumusta Pusa Loves” children’s book series, her purr'pose is to inspire a sense of culture and happiness, one paw print at a time.
Mission Statement
Meow meow, friends! My mission is to spread kindness and a love for Filipino culture, one paw print at a time. I believe in sharing stories that connect us, celebrating where we come from, and inspiring curiosity in every heart I meet. Through every page, I pounce with joy, kindness, and a big love for heritage, because that’s the Filipino way!
Vision Statement
I dream of a world where kindness leads the way and every child feels proud of their roots, excited to learn about others, and eager to share smiles. With each paw print, I hope to create connections, celebrate cultures, and build a brighter, friendlier world. Together, let’s explore, share, and grow with warmth, resilience, and joy—because life is purr-fect when we’re kind to one another!
Did you know?
There’s no native pre-colonial word for “Hello” in any of the Philippine languages like Tagalog, Ilokano, or Bisaya. Instead, greetings are traditionally expressed as questions or phrases showing concern or respect. It reflects a Filipino worldview of shared identity, empathy, and relational warmth.
That’s why Kumusta Pusa means “How are you, Cat?” And, Kumusta Kuting means "How are you, Kitten?"
The polite way to say it would be:
“Pusa, kumusta po?”
We chose Kumusta Pusa as a fun and friendly greeting—just like saying “How’s it going?” or “Howzit?” when meeting someone new.
Want to try it yourself? You can say:
“Kumusta ka na?” (How are you?)
or
“Kumusta ka po?” (How are you? — said politely)
Kumusta Pusa loves using Filipino to make new friends and start conversations.
