Behind the Truth
Being Filipinos, we should exhibit our own mainly in our land but also around the world. But with regards to our language, nothings worth to be proud of. Why? It is because even if were stepping on the grounds of our home land we are foreign in our minds. Just by speaking in English we breached a campaign and followed a policy; breached the “Tangkilikin ang Sariling Atin” and followed the English Speaking Policy.
The English Speaking Policy was said to enhance the skills of students in English. Enhancement in skills in English which leads to the deterioration in our skills in Filipino – which is our indigenous language.
Yes, being able to speak in English is a benefit and most relatively important. It helps you to communicate to anyone and get a nice job.
At this moment, as a student, we are obliged to speak in English in our school. It may be of help in English but not in Filipino. Let us admit it; we knew more words in English than in Filipino. English words that we seldom use daily than Filipino words which we should know. It is a result in speaking in English, that we further explore foreign vocabulary than our own.
