“Keeping in Mind Our Mother Tongue”

Mother tongue… is this word new to you? Well, I am also curious about it when I first met this phrase. What if they told you when they say that “Keep in mind your mother tongue,” what will be the first thing that comes in to your mind? Mother tongue is a phrase which means “first language” or national language. We, Filipinos, are loyal to our country, which was one of the main reasons to make us known worldwide. Mainly in loving the history of it and keeping in our mind the people who made a name in this country. Our language “Tagalog” must be the most important to keep in our heads. It is our own trademark in the world. It helps us communicate to other easily. We must love it because it’s our own, one which came in our own land, and own. Like Jose Rizal, our national hero, once said, “Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay mas masahol pa sa malansang isda.” We must love our own language because it is in every Filipinos soul and in every man who wasted they’re lives just for our country.
