"Open your Eyes and You will see its Value"

               August, as we all know it was the month for our “Inang Wika”. As participation we should use our native language the “Wikang Tagalog” but nowadays, teens can no longer or hardly pronounce our native language. Questions in my mind starting do build up and one of them is WHY?

              Teenagers nowadays are having fun of using different languages. But as my observation they are not that capable of pronouncing our own language. They seldom use Filipino as they talk to each other. At first I was amazed by them because it’s my first time to hear those kinds of languages. When I was a child I admit I also want to learn the different kinds of foreign languages but as I grow old I realized how important our native language is. We should know the value of it. Come to think, this is one reason also why our heroes fight for. This month’s celebration theme is: “Wikang Filipino ang Daang Matuwid”. At first it’s hard to analyse the meaning of it but when you are good in our own language you can easily get the meaning of it. The theme was also based on the slogan our president given to us. Like what President Manuel A. Roxas told us, “ Ang Wika ay ang Kaluluwa ng isang bansa na nag-uugnay sa bawat pulo nito” yes he is right we have to use our own language to easily understand each other. We can easily understand what bwe want for the sake of our country. We should have the unity to attain our goals and to easily get in the straight path.

               As we use our own language foreigner can easily know where we came or what country we came from. Start opening the eyes of teenagers. Let them see the value and importance of our own language.
