TALK and Be PROUD :)

      Can you imagine a country without something like "universal language"? Will there be peace? Will there be unity?

     A country should have a national language.Despite the fact that they have different dialects, people should use and value their national language. Likewise here in the Philippines. It is composed of 7, 107 islands and grouped into three which is the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.We may have various dialects, there is a language that is binding us as one. We have this thing so that we could have better understanding to anyone's opinions and beliefs.

     We follow and use one language on order to attain and maintain peace among us. In that way, we will be socially healthy. There will be strong bond and camaraderie among us.

     As I can recall from Jose Rizal's novel "El Filibusterismo", there is a chapter there that says "Spanish will make the Filipinos unite" and they have to put up "Akademya ng Wikang Kastila". But Basilio (one of the characters of the novel) insisted because we are not Spaniards to learn and use that language which is very true. We should be proud of our own language. It symbolizes what our nationality is. It will unite us as one.

     In strengthening this language, it definitely shows our love to our country. A sense of nationalism. For today's "Buwan ng Wika" celebration, we will become aware that our language is a tool who needs love and care. For this is the key to attain peace and unity among us and will prove that we are PROUD TO BE FILIPINOS. ♥
