The Language of Our Own

                    The month of August is the month of our Filipino language and we the students studying here in the Philippines is celebrating it every year. There will be some programs to be shown, like singing few folk songs or dancing, some contests to be held in different schools. It is just reminding us Pilipinos, that our language is very important and needs to be use, for it won't slowly disappear. Having our own language symbolizes that our country is free from those foreigners. Once our country was conquered, it was like a cage. The Pilipinos in that time can't even decide for their own. But now Pilipinos are like eagles flying high without chains in their legs. Our language doesn't only symbolizes our freedom but also the cultures and traditions of Pilipinos. A Pilipino is different from those other men in different countries. We may learn different languages but still we will never replace the language who existed even we weren't born yet. You may take a Pilipino out from his land but you will never take away from him the characteristics of a Pilipino. Pilipinos are one of the people on the world who speak English fluently. English is the international language, basically we are using this language here in our own country. There is nothing bad about it but don't you think, it is better if we use our own language instead? By using our own thing it will only mean showing great love to our country. Our language means who we are, what we are and what we have.
