Kapanlagi.com - Father's Day is a special moment celebrated to honor fathers, who are full of dedication and sacrifice. In Indonesia, Father's Day is commemorated every November 12.
The choice of this date is not a coincidence, but rather the result of a long journey and a desire to celebrate the role of fathers in our society. After a series of discussions and hearings, November 12 was finally established as National Father's Day.
This commemoration was first held in 2006 and continues to this day as a form of appreciation for all fathers across Indonesia. Of course, there are many interesting stories behind the origins of Father's Day. Let's take a look at the interesting facts and history of Father's Day in Indonesia, as summarized by Kapanlagi.com on Tuesday (11/5).
The initiative to celebrate Father's Day in Indonesia began with a memorable moment in 2006, when the Motherland Sons Association (PPIP) held a Mother's Day commemoration event in Solo City, Central Java.
During the event, the letter-writing competition for mothers received an extraordinary response, prompting participants to ask, "When do we celebrate Father's Day?"
This question became the starting point for the birth of National Father's Day, a celebration that not only attracted attention but also touched the hearts of many, reminding us of the importance of fathers in our lives.
During the festive moment of Mother's Day, the committee did not expect to be inundated with questions about when a similar event would be held for fathers.
Participants enthusiastically expressed their hopes for a similar opportunity to honor fathers, who are seen as having a crucial role in the family, especially in terms of leadership.
From here, the idea to celebrate Father's Day in Indonesia emerged, which then developed into the increasingly recognized and appreciated National Father's Day commemoration.
After hearing various aspirations from the participants, PPIP held an audience with the Surakarta City DPRD to inquire whether Indonesia already has a special day to celebrate fathers.
If not, they requested permission to establish a date as Father's Day. Although the response received was not satisfactory, PPIP's spirit to realize this idea did not wane, considering the father's firm role and as the captain of the family.
Finally, after a long journey, PPIP proudly declared National Father's Day on November 12, 2006, at Pendhapi Gede Balai Kota Solo.
This celebration received widespread support and carried a meaningful slogan, "May Fathers Be Wise, Fathers Be Healthy, Dads Be Successful," as a hope for all fathers in the homeland.
On the same day, Maumere, Flores, NTT, also celebrated this special moment with a declaration marking that the commemoration of Father's Day is not only centered in Solo but also resonates throughout Indonesia.
In this touching event, PPIP launched a book titled "Memories for Dad," which contains 100 heartfelt letters from children to their fathers.
This precious book was not only distributed to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) but also spread to regional heads from Sabang to Merauke, Talaud to Rote Island, as a symbol of love and respect for fathers across the archipelago.
Father's Day is not just an annual celebration, but a valuable opportunity to reflect on the importance of a father's role in the family.
As a role model, protector, and breadwinner, a father not only strives to meet needs but also contributes to easing the burden of household chores.
Therefore, it is only fitting that we give them the recognition they deserve on this special occasion.
Unlike International Father's Day, which is celebrated in June, Indonesia has a special moment to honor fathers on November 12.
This date is not just a number, but a reminder of the unique values and history for our society in celebrating the important role of a father.
National Father's Day becomes a symbol of how vital a father's role is in the development of children and family life, as well as the hope that this tradition will continue to be upheld, so that future generations will always appreciate the presence of fathers in their families.
National Father's Day is a special moment that can be celebrated in various meaningful ways. From heartfelt thank-you messages, giving small touching gifts, to spending quality time with family.
One interesting idea is to hold a special dinner, either by cooking dad's favorite food or ordering from his favorite restaurant. Not only that, outdoor activities like picnics, hiking, or playing sports together can also add excitement to this special day.
Spending time outdoors with the extended family will surely create beautiful memories. Many families take this opportunity to express their love for their fathers in simple yet very meaningful ways.
Father's Day is not just a moment of celebration, but also a reminder of the crucial role that fathers play in the lives of their children and the harmony of the family.
By commemorating this special day, we hope that the values of appreciation for the father figure can continue to take root and be passed on to future generations, so that they will always remember and honor their father's contributions in every step of life.
Every November 12, Indonesia celebrates National Father's Day, a special moment that reminds us of the important role of fathers in the family.
On this special day, we are invited to appreciate and celebrate the love, sacrifices, and dedication of fathers who have given everything for the happiness and future of their children.
November 12 was chosen as National Father's Day, a special moment commemorated thanks to the initiative of the Motherland Sons Association (PPIP) which held an official declaration in 2006.
This day serves as a symbol of respect and recognition for the important role of fathers in families and society, inviting all of us to celebrate their love and dedication.
Father's Day is celebrated every June, but in Indonesia, we have a special moment to honor fathers, which is on November 12.
So, even though there is a difference in timing, the spirit of celebrating the love and sacrifice of a father remains alive in our hearts!
Father's Day is a special moment to show gratitude and love to someone who has tirelessly fought for the family.
Celebrate this special day by giving sincere thank yous, presenting meaningful gifts, or spending quality time together, as an invaluable form of appreciation for Dad.
