Filipino Language - A Legacy

                       We Filipino's are known with so many unique traditions,unique identities- we are known of being hospitable, kind, loving, good in cooking the bayanihan that Filipinos are famous for is said to be taken from Malay forefathers  but aside from that we are known because of  one of the most important element for us to be identified us Filipino - Our language Filipino.

              It is very important having our language because we are able to communicate and understand each other.Our forefather's had gone through thick and thin just to fight for our native language.Our Language is our legacy and our armor when we are in a battlefield because even if all things will be gone,  richness and all the wealth will be gone our language will always be there. Our language filipino or locally known as tagalog was the language of the 1896 Revolution and the Katipunan's. Our language had traveled so far it has been promoted as the medium of communication here in the Philippines we have to nurture what our forefather's had first made-in their struggles. We have to appreciate our culture and embrace our language, Our national hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal said, “Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, ay daig pa sa malansang isda’’("He who does not love his own language is worse than a smelly fish").

          May his words serve as a  reminder for all of us, and continue it to our future generations to keep our National Language active by using, enriching, loving and embracing all the time, we have to preserve it to make it distinctly Filipino. We have to restore our culture as well as our language because this is our legacy and this is WHO WE ARE.
