IT'S UNTO US

“Katarungan Para sa Bayan!” These are the words being shouted by our heroes and ancestors during their fight for justice and freedom.

Different colors, religion, beliefs, cultures and race had colonized our country. Many languages had dominated and changed the people in their manners, attitude and their way of living. In spite of all these languages that flew in the different regions of our country, our own language, Filipino, still managed to maintain its position as the main medium of communication here in the Philippines because of the efforts and hardworks of our heroes just to promote and maintain the usage of the Filipino language in our country.

But as time passed by, more languages came and it has a huge effect to our country. Many people almost have their noses bleeding due to the un-understandable foreign languages. They believe that these languages will ensure them a brighter future, especially the English language. It is considered as the most widely used language in the world. In business agreements, English is needed. In applying for jobs. English is required. In communicating with other people especially on our campus, English is needed. English, English, English…

Are we just gonna settle down and leave the Filipino language be rotten by scavengers?

The choice is unto us, whether the language that reveals our colorful identity or those languages that makes our noses bleed but will give us brighter future?
