I'M PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO

           Annually, we celebrate the so called "Buwan ng Wika" every month of August.  This is in honor with our former President Manuel L. Quezon, the father of our National Language, Filipino.
          The theme for this year's "Buwan ng Wika" Celebration is "TATAG NG WIKANG FILIPINO, LAKAS NG PAGKA-PILIPINO. We are all aware that every Filipino citizen is known for his/her language which is Filipino.  We all know that our national language is the symbol of every Filipno citizen.
          May be we are wondering why we need to have a common language where in fact we have our own dialect based on where we live or what tribe we belong to.  Let us just imagine if we use our own dialect in communicating with each other, what would be our situation if this would be the case?  Will we be able to understand each other?  Will there be unity?  For sure, we will not be able to understand each other and we will not be able to express what we feel and share what we know.
          On the other hand, if we talk to each other using the language, it would be better because we will certainly understand each other.  As a result, the flow of communication would become more effective.  Of course, if there is understanding, there is unity and if there is unity, there is also progress in our country.
          Aside from having a good flow of communication, we are also showing our love for our country through this.  The significance of having a common language is having a strong bond with each other.  Let us be proud that we are Filipino and Filipino language is our symbol.
