FILIPINO LANGUAGE: Key To National Identity

"Language is one of the most important thing that a country has. It served as the key to a national identity. Philippines is composed of 7107 Islands and devided into 3 major Islands, Luzon , Visayas and Mindanao. Philippines has 17 Regions that has variety of dialect, Iloko, bisaya , waray and others, but the commonly use by the Pilipinoes is called the FILIPINO LANGUAGE (Tagalog).
Manuel L. Quezon are late president declared Filipino as our national language.He was born on August 19, 1878, in Baler, Tayabas (now Aurora), Manuel L. Quezon is known as the Second President of the Republic of the Philippines, and as the First President of the Philippine Commonwealth. When he was a teen, he joined several protesters to revolt against the Spaniards. Together with Emilio Aguinaldo and the Filipino nationalists, he fought during the Filipino-American War. Unfortunately, he was jailed for doing such. When he was freed, he swore alliance with the United States.
Quezon was once a hero in Baler, as he is in the whole country. His deeds proved that being a Filipino is a great dignity. And so it is our duty today to continue that legacy of Quezon. Let's use Filipino language not only in schools , homes. Let's use it everywhere, Proud to be PINOY .. "MULA BALER HANGGANG SA BUONG BANSA"...
