"Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika, mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda, kaya ang matapat pagyamaning kusa, na tulad sa inang tunay na nagpala."
Language is very momentous because it helps us in communicating. Fluency of the English language or fluency in our mother tongue? Which one would I embrace? Envisage the ascendancy between the two for us to weigh which is which.
Almost everywhere I'm looking, English language is the main medium used. Not just in the Philippines, but also worldwide. It's pandemic. Through this, people worldwide were able to communicate with ataraxia. But how about our mother tongue? As what our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal said, we must love our native language. Most of the Filipinos nowadays are no longer that fluent in our own lexicon. That's one of DepEd's reasons for implementing the use of the native tongue.
Some may say that fluency in english is better than the mastery of our native or mother tongue. But for me, I'll choose the mastery of our mother tongue. It would be easier to study other languages if you've already mastered your own language. It will not only let us understand our culture but it will also help us to comprehend better. Love your mother tongue.
