If “{{filingDate}}” expands to a number specifying the number of seconds or 
milliseconds since Epoch for that date, then you can use that approach 
(seconds would have to be multiplied by 1'000); otherwise, as we have 
determined recently [1], you SHOULD NOT.

If “{{filingDate}}” expands to a string from which you can extract the month 
number, such as "2014-11-30", then you can assign, for example:

  var d = "{{filingDate}}";

and then use string methods to process the value of “d” (also discussed 
recently).

However, it is likely that Mustache has a way to get to the information 
without client-side scripting; it would be better that way, unless you can 
make sure that client-side scripting and document.write() is supported with 
the user.  Still, document.write() should be avoided as it slows down 
rendering of the document; tree-modifying methods introduced with the W3C 
DOM should be used instead.

Mustache is off-topic here, though, as you have been told before.  Please 
read and follow the recommendations in the FAQ.  And get a real name.
