Do you really know what Wikang Filipino means? It importance to Pilipinos? How to use it properly?
Long time ago, Philippines has many languages that has been used by the Pilipino. Every single place has their own dialects that was used by the people who live at that place. Their ancestors taught them their dialect and how to use it. They are not using any language instead of their own. They talked by themselves because they were the only who could understand what they were saying. They were not traveling and can't mingle to others because they can't understand each other. And this was the major reason why there were misunderstandings that resulted to conflicts at that time. And success and national cooperation was possible to attain.
Then there was a place called Baler. This was the birthplace of one of our greatest leaders and the founder of our national language. With his long time in serving the country and the Pilipinos, one of the greatest accomplishments of this leader that marked our history was the declaration of our National Language--Designated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Wikang Filipino was the official national language of the Philippines. Manuel L. Quezon, the Father of Wikang Filipino, established this to unite the whole country--from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Great change had happened after the declaration, Filipinos from the different places--from the lowest ethnic groups to the cities-- adopted and learned this language. They were not anymore afraid of traveling to places and traded their products. They mingle with one another in a peaceful manner because they understand each other. This language had turn the counties economy to progress. Nationalism was indeed observed. Our country became known around the globe and internationally competitive.
Being a Filipino, it is our responsibility to discover the real essence and history of our National language--Wikang Filipino. We need to use it properly and be proud of it. Shout out that you are a Filipino and stand for the Wikang Filipino.
