FILIPINO LANGUAGE: THE KEY OF THE PHILIPPINE IDENTITY

Manuel Luis Quezon, the first president of the Commonwealth in the Philippines, is the Father of our National Language- The Filipino Language. He was born on the month of August at Baler, Aurora. As a respect to his title, we are celebrating BUWAN NG WIKA every year, during his birth month. This year, the theme of this celebration is: "WIKANG FILIPINO: MULA BALER HANGGANG BUONG BANSA."

This theme encourages us to use our national language allover the country. We may speak using our native tongues but people from other provinces would not understand us anymore. This is the use of having a national language- to use it in communicating with our fellowmen.

Our National Language is our identity. Other people would be able to know our nationality as Filipinos if they hear us using this language. We should be proud in using this language. We should be thankful for being born as filipinos.

Even if he BUWAN NG WIKA is over, we should, still, use this wherever we go in side the country- FOR PEACE AND UNITY and because it is our identity!
