FILIPINO LANGUAGE: KEY FOR NATIONAL IDENTITY

For the first time we see that person, we can recognize that he or she came from other country because of their different skin and the way they dress. It means that you can identify a person whether if he or she is a Filipino by the color of the skin, the way he or she dress. But there is one thing that you can recognize a person, we call it the language.

Not only the way we dress, the color of our skin but also the language we used. Every country have their own identity like here in Philippines, we have are own identity. Our own identity was our Filipino language, our culture, the way we dress, the color of our skin. So Filipino language was our national identity. English language is the identity for the Americans. So language is important to us because it can help us communicate to others and also it can help us identify a person whether if he or she is a Filipino or not.

I just want to say that do not be ashamed to use our Filipino language because if you ashamed to use it, it means that you ashamed that you are Filipino and also you are not proud to be a Filipino. We must love our language and we must give it a value.
