Tatag ng wikang Filipino, Lakas ng pagka-Pilipino!

                Alibata, the first alphabet of the Philippines, where in the history of the language Filipino started here. Changed and replaced by the Filipinos, it was turned to Ilokano, Waray, and Cebuano, these are now the dialects of this island. There are many dialects in this island yet they didn’t degrade the unity of the Filipinos. But these dialects became the guide to improve and come up with the national language. Tagalog was the first name of the national language. Time passed by and it became Pilipino, where in Manuel Luis Quezon, former President of the Philippines, valued and treasured it. At present, as the alphabet changes and as the universal language was learned by Filipinos, the national language became Filipino. 

                The national language is a basis for nationalism. People in the country gives value and love for their language, it also became a pride of theirs. Countrymen recline to their language causing them to understand each other. Whatever corner are you at, you can trace the stability and firmness of their language. This is because of the strength and durability they show as Filipinos. And this strength is the reason why the language is widespread and still influencing people in different places of the country. From Luzon to Mindanao, from the poorest Filipino citizen to President Aquino, you can see how proud they are and how they are mould by their national language. They show their love, from the very bottom of their hearts, in many ways. From more than 7,000 islands where billions of people are living in it, you can see their unity and one reason is because of the national language Filipino.

                That’s why Filipino’s must be proud of their land. Support, love and treasure the national language. Use it in good ways and show the world how proud you are. Ang tatag ng wikang Filipino ay lakas ng pagka-Pilipino!
