Filipino: Wika ng Pagkakaisa

Tayo'y Magkaisa Para sa Ating Bansa

Maraming pinagdaan ang ating wika. Maraming pangyayari ang nagbigay daan para mabuhay ang wikang Filipino. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na kanilang pinakahihintay, ang araw ng pag-ani ng kanilang naipundar na pagsisikap para sa ating wika. Ang ating wika ang siyang kaluluwa ng ating bansa na kung makapagpapatunay na tayo ay Pilipino. Ang bansa ay umunlad din dahil sa ating wika. Maging ang pagkakaisa ng mga mamamayan ay hindi rin makakamtam kung wala itong wika na isa sa mga pinakamahalagang sangkap ng bansa.

Ang pagkakaroon ng sarili nating wika ay isang karangalan sa ating bansa. Ito ay isang sukatan natin ng yaman ng lahi sa kultura, tradisyon, at paniniwala ng ating bansang Pilipinas. Mahalaga na ito'y ating pagyamanin para sa mga susunod na henerasyon. Ang pagkakaroon ng iisang wika ay nangangahulugang nagkakaisa ang mga mamamayan at nagkakaintindihan ang lahat para sa iisang hangarin. Dahil kung hindi pinahalagahan noon na magkaroon ng pambansang wika ay hindi magkakaintindihan at magulo ang pakikipag-komunikasyon at talastasan. Hindi magiging maayos ang buhay kung iba’t-ibang wikang etniko ang dapat nating isaulo.
 
Ang pagkakaisa ng mga mamamayan ng ating bansa sa isipan at gawa ay dapat nating makamtam. Ang pagkakabuklod na hinahangad ay makakamtam lamang kapag ang kanilang wikang sarili ay ang ginagamit ng bawat mamamayan rito. Ngayong nasa tuwid na landas na tayo, ating ipagmalaki at ipagbunyi na mayroon tayong iisang wika at ito ang Filipino na daan sa iisa nating hangarin, at ito ang pagbabago sa lipunan. Nawa’y ating gamitin ng wasto ngayong buwan ng wika ang Filipino at taas-noo tayong magsalita sa ating sariling wika!

SONA 2014

State Of Nation Address 2014

       President Benigno Aquino III has delivered his fifth SONA last July 28, 2014 at Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City.

In the president’s speech, he made some personal statement and become emotional during the last part of it. He stated that, “The Filipino is worth dying for; the Filipino is worth living for. He narrated how the government endured the corruption and hardships. He has also cited that he’s already contented with the accomplishments of his administration. But the question is, are this accomplishments satisfied the many Filipinos?

During his speech, some people were protested outside the event area, they said that Aquino is the Pork Barrel king as they showed “holDAPer” which pertains to the president’s DAP. They were trying to protest about the controversial DAP. But the president explained about this issue. President PNoy explained the importance of the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) as he defended his stance, despite the controversy surrounding its implementation. He showed all the projects funded by DAP that came from the savings of the national government. The Pres. noted that because of DAP, it was able to help TESDA scholars achieved their goals even showcasing a testimonials from beneficiaries of the program. He also noted that the employment rate of the country had increased and reflects how his administration handled the labor policies.

As most Filipinos know, every SONA was the speech of the president in which he will deliver all his plans and improvement of the country especially on economy. But many were dismayed because some of the promises were not granted so they protest.
