 "Tatag Ng Wikang Filipino,Lakas Ng Pagka-Pilipino"

                 We are already in the month of August. During this month we celebrate one of the most important event in  our country, the BUWAN NG WIKA. In this time we have our opportunity to remember the contributions and achievements of  one of our president in promoting for our over all language.

                  Before the term of Manuel L. Quezon as president, Philippines has no permanent language yet. So Filipinos are didn't understand each other because they used different languages like Ilocano, Kanaey, Ibanag, Panggalatok and others. This was the main cause why people are quarreled.

                      So when Manuel L. Quezon became the president of our country, he made a way to solve this problem ant to put a symbol that we are Filipinos. He thought possible language that could understand by all people. On the 30th  day of December on the year 1937, he declared Filipino language as the national language of the Philippines.

                           Since the time that he promoted this language, Filipinos have already unity. They are already  understand each other where ever they go. Because of this language people can easily identify that we are Filipinos aside from our traits,traditions and culture.

                                Filipino language is very important in our life. We must used it with all our heart and we  must be proud of it. This was the key  to make a progressive country. We didn't need to adopt another language to the other country. Remember what Dr. Jose Rizal said in his poem "Ang taong di marunong  magmahal sa sariling wika ay daig pa ang malansang isda."
