“Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika
ay higit pa sa amoy ng malansang isda.” Katagang binitiwan ni Gat Jose Rizal sa
kantang “Ako’y Isang Pinoy”.
WIKA.
Una nating naiisip ang salitang “Filipino” sa tuwing naririnig ang salitang
wika. Ngunit, hindi lingid sa ating kaalaman na iilan na lamang sa atin ang
gumagamit sa wikang Filipino.
In
our country, we have different languages. We have the Iloko, Cebuano,
Pangasinense, Bicolano and many more. With the use of these languages, we are
able to communicate and understand each other. And this is really important. Why?
Without these languages, how can we understand each other? How can we
communicate in each other? How about the feelings that we want to deliver or
express? Using our own language is considered as an obligation. It’s not only
obligation but it’s also a sign of respect in our society.
On
the other hand, Filipino as our country’s language is being used all over the
country. Ilocanos are using it and even Cebuanos, the Muslims, the Bicolanos
and almost all the Filipinos inside the country. We use the Filipino language
to bridge the gap; for bridging the gap between us, the Filipinos inside and
outside the country.
We,
the Filipinos should do our part as a citizen of our country. Use our language
in a proper way and in a right manner. Love our language and we should be proud
of it. Can you imagine life without our own language? There will be
misunderstandings. So let’s all love and use our language. And if you’re doing
it, you’re making your country proud.
