Reading the article on this link has added another feeling of happiness because of our ancestors or should I say "colonizers", Filipinos had the privilege to learn English but most certainly, my love for my native tongue is there - Filipino language
Though so saddening to read this:
"For while Filipino may be the language of identity, it is the language of the streets. It might have the capacity to be the language of learning, but it is not the language of the learned."
Maaring malaki ang nagagawa ng pagkatuto ng isang Filipino (Pinoy) ng wikang Ingles, ngunit hindi ito nangangahulugan na ang pagtingin sa sariling wika ay ganun na lamang. [We can say learning English of Filipino citizens can bring a lot to them, but this does not mean that one should ignore or treat his own language just like that.]
