Wikang Filipino: Tatak ng Pinoy

All over the world, we are the only ones who have this language, language which became our trademark. From Batanes to Sulu, this is what we, Filipinos, use. With a number of of 7,107 islands found in the Philippines, there are different dialects but the Filipino language is what unites us.

Thank you to our former President Manuel L. Quezon who gave us our national language. Because of this, we understand each other. So wherever we may go, we could never be lost or downed by others because we have our national language as our armor. This is very important in our daily life because we use this in every kind of job we are busy with. Filipino language is also the reason why we have peace, freedom attained, unity, cooperation and orderliness in the society. Our Filipino language has so many things which can do us good. From Baler to every part of the nation, this has been the key to our national identity.

I am a Full – blooded Filipino and I am proud of it and so I am encouraging you to use your own language and be proud of it because this is the trademark of the Filipinos. As to what our national hero said, Dr. Jose Rizal, “The one who doesn’t love his own language is worse than that of the odorous fish.”
