The use of our own Language

Filipinos were distinct with their culture and the way they treat people. We all know that these kinds of aspects had triggered so many foreigners all around the world to consider that Philippines is one of the best country a man could have.

Aside from this, the way do Filipino showed this act was by means of their language. English could be that, but as a man with his nation, there is a distinct language to speak and if someone heard it, he will consider that you are part of that country.

Filipino or Tagalog language was introduced past years ago, it was established through its recognition by the Father of our National Language, Late Manuel Quezon. He was the proponent of considering Tagalog and later Filipino to be the national language of the Philippines.

As years passed by, many influences had arrived and the language had been affected, changed and cultured. Filipinos nowadays, were not familiar with the deep words that a Tagalog language had. It was distinct and hard to identify that these words are existing and an English word had its meaning in tagalong in an unidentified way.

Here, I will present to you some of these words and let us all nourish the never- ending heart of our language and hoping that it will be passed through generation to generation.
