Filipino Language: My Own Identity

What comes into your mind if you heard the words “Filipino Language?” Is it a subject? A hero? Or a significant place? We the Filipino citizen must be the first one to be aware about this matter.

For me it’s Manuel L. Quezon that comes into my mind because he is a great hero, not only in the past, but also up to the present times and to the next generations. Quezon is the first president of the Commonwealth, he is also known as the “Father of Philippine Independence.” And when he declared the Flipino Language which was born in Baler, Aurora as our National Language, he was entitled as “Father of Filipino Language.” So, many people have already understand each other in communicating personally. Remember that there were many languages or dialects during the old times and people didn't understand what others were trying to say. This was the primary reason why Quezon declared the Filipino Language as our National Language. In addition, its goal was to spread peace, unity, cooperation, understanding and to promote good camaraderie among people.

A million thanks to you Manuel Quezon, because of you our country have already attained its identity. Eventhough we have so many languages in our country, you pursue Filipino Language as a unique and certain language here in the Philippines. But above all may I leave a simple question you my fellow Filipino that will served as a challenge in your life. "Are you part of the progress and identity of our country?"
