The Philippines is an archipelago that composes of 7,107 islands, different culture and most of all different dialects. Because of this a goal of having a national Language was formed. This goal does not only aim to promote a national unity, it also aims to have a national identity for our country.
There are many languages or dialects used here in the Philippines. To name a few there’s Iloco, Waray,Pangasinense and Tagalog. Just think of it we’re living in one country but we can hardly understand each other, that’s why having Filipino as our national language is a great help. Many Pilipinos nowadays is not patronizing Filipino because of there colonial mentality. I’m not depriving them to learn other languages but they should patronize first our own language before others. At present, Philippines is a well-known country, even at the most remote part of the world you can still see Pilipino scattered there. These scenarios also let us see the importance of Filipino, because we can never know when or where you’ll see a Kababayan.
Filipino is for Pilipino that’s why we should love, patronize and use it. Because of it we are unique from other countries, we are known as Pilipino and we are proud of being one. As Dr. Jose Rizal said and I quoted “ Ang taong ‘di marunong sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa hayop at malansang isda.”
