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.
