One Language, One country!

Here in the Philippines, August is the month that we usually celebrate our own language that is "Wikang Filipino". For us, Filipinos, own language is the most important thing that a country must have. "Wikang Filipino" by the way was introduced to as by our very own Manuel Quezon. He introduced "Wikang Filipino" as our Philippine Language because this language is widely understood by almost all Filipinos and it's usually used by some teachers as their language in teaching.
Manuel L. Quezon started allocating “Wikang Filipino” in his province which is now called as Quezon. From Baler, Quezon where he was born, “Wikang Filipino” was allocated all over the Philippines and when it was well-known, Quezon proclaimed it as our language.
As an honor to Manuel Quezon and also as a respect to our language, we are celebrating "Buwan ng Wika" as we call it here in the Philippines. In our school, there are many activities that we've done is celebration of "buwan ng wika". Many contests were prepared like balagtasan, pagbigkas ng tula, jingle, slogan making, poster making, quiz bee and etc.
For the Filipinos out there reading this post, please let's use our own language! Let me quote a sentence that Jose Rizal had spoken when he was about to die, "ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa amoy ng malansang isda".
