Communication, one of the factors that define us as Filipinos. There are about thousands of languages all over the world. But languages such as English are the most commonly used and the most fluent in the whole world. It is the language that cuts borders between nations and races, making us understand what the other side wants us to understand even more. But is it a reason to forget our own native tongue just to communicate easily. Should we be more fluent in English that out own nation's language?
English is taught to all school at an young age to easily teach children the proper use of the language. it makes communicating with other countries and foreigners easy since its an international language. On the other hand, Filipino can only be used on the Philippines or to those only who know Filipino. But this language defines us, and shows our individuality. You cannot be called a part of the Philippines if you don't know Filipino.
We should be fluent on both languages. To know English mean to communicate with the world. To know Filipino mean a sense of individuality. We can two birds with one stone if we try our best to be fluent at both.
