Insights About the Pambansang Buwan ng Wika

          Filipino, this is our national language.  We the Filipino citizens must have the honor and privileged to use this one.  We must be proud for we have Filipino language.  

          Manuel L.  Quezon, he is the great man whom we consider as the Father of the Filipino language.  Every month of August, we celebrate the " Pambansang Buwan ng Wika.  " One main reason of conducting this celebration is to preserve the presence of Filipino language in the heart, mind and soul of every Filipino citizens.  I have said that because base on my observations, many of our countryman don't have the pride to speak out our own language when they have already gone abroad or when they are in abroad.  It seems that they were ashamed to speak it out.  For me, this is such a very immoral attitude of a Filipino.  As our Philippine National Hero, Dr.  Jose P. Rizal, once quoted, " Ang Hindi Marunong Magmahal sa Sariling Wika ay Higit Pa sa Hayop at sa Malansang Isda.  "

          Being a Filipino, we must take pride and honor to speak out our own National language everywhere we go.  We must be proud we have it.  Give importance to it and be proud for we have it.  Stand up and say, " I am proud to be a Filipino!  "
