Language: Bridge Towards Success
Sometimes we consider languages as a part of our lives. Of course, this
is what we need in order to communicate with others. We continue to learn
different languages every day. Sometimes we thought that the languages that we know
today is already enough. We thought that we already know about that language
but the truth is, there’s still a deeper meaning. But as we learn new, we
forget some. Our indigenous languages mostly. And so, in the Philippines, we
celebrate “Buwan ng Wika” every August of the year and also as part of our
lives. This year’s theme of Buwan ng Wika is “Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang
Bansang Filipino”. This aims to help raise awareness about indigenous
languages’ role in developing and making the country’s identity. We use the
languages as a bridge to unite the many ethnolinguistic groups in the country.
Some of the activities reminded the students the true meaning of languages.
Poster making, spoken word poetry, essay writing contests and many more. The overall
message of the theme is that the Filipino language should always be remembered,
use it for the country’s reputation, and embrace the multicultural identity of
our nation.
