Keep In Mind Our Mother Tongue

                         People all over the world have different languages. In the Philippines alone, we have more than 170 distinct dialects. And the most commonly used language is Tagalog. Why do we have to keep in mind our native language?

                        We use our language as our identity of what we are, who we are and where we came from. But did you know that Filipinos are the most numbered people who can speak different languages too? This is so because of overseas employment, our town mates, doesn’t forget their language and they are proud to be a Filipino. We learned our first language since birth or have been spoken from earliest childhood and still spoken. Even other countries are trying hard to learn and speak our native language. Foreign videos on YouTube had spread and it’s pretty cute to watch and hear them speaking and singing some of our famous poems and folk songs. It doesn’t matter how many language you know or how good you are in speaking, what matters most is how you treasure, care, love and can be proud of your mother tongue and what matters also is how you can stick to your dialect.

                        We must keep in mind our mother tongue. It is the skin of our personality, it is the identity of who we really are, no pretenders and be proud. Let us love, treasure and care our native language.
