Every year, month of August, whole Philippines commemorates Buwan ng Wika. This is the time in which we, Filipinos, celebrate our Philippine National Language which is Filipino. This was institutionalized by Former President Manuel L. Quezon. It is our way of showing love for our own language. Filipinos united for this event, united since even if we are in different places, we celebrate one occasion. In this, it is a proof that we respect and treasured our own language.
During this event, we may see pupils or students wearing native dress or attire as their participation. They may also used our language whenever they spoke. Also, there were many games held like poem (tagalog), balagtasan, orientation(tagalog), pukpok palayok, sungka, patintero and other filipino games.
But as I was observed, some Filipinos are not fluent to our own language. They prefer to speak English since it made them sophisticated and seen as educated. Some also find it difficult to speak Filipino because they speak other languages at home, such as Cebuano, Waray, and so on. Huhuhu!
God Bless!
