Key To National Identity

Different countries have their own language. It's important for them because they use it as their own identity. It is also important because it is the key for them to share his/her ideas, whether it is good or bad; the key through other's understanding to one's idea. We Filipinos have our own language,Filipino,that we can use as the key to National Identity and Manuel L. Quezon is the Father of Filipino language. Our language is not only used for communication but also for the progress, peacefulness and unity of our country.
There are many languages or dialects that are used in the Philippines but Filipino language is the main or commonly used here in our country. We all know that we must use our own language for us to understand each other but some uses English language for them to be socialized. It is just okay to use English language because it is the medium of communication in most countries, including Philippines, for them to be globally competitive but it is better to use our language especially when we are inside the country. Example, when we go to other countries using our own language, it's nice and good to hear the phrase "You're a Filipino, right???" and they have identified you as a Filipino. Where ever you go, for as long as you are using your own language, the people around you will know you are a Filipino.
When we are using Filipino language with all our hearts, accordingto our wants and dreams,it would be easier for us to approach each other to have a good relationship with other Filipinos around us. And because of that, it would be faster to have and achieve a progressive country, having peace and order among all the citizens in the country. So let us love and use our own language for the betterment of our country.
