Tagalog, Iloko, Kapampangan, Bicolano, Waray, Hiligaynon, Cebuano,
Ilonggo, Bisaya. These are just some of many languages here in the Philippines.
Yes, we are using different languages. We use these languages to express our
insights and thoughts, and also to express ourselves. Did you know that
there are all 130 languages here in the Philippines? And this makes us
different from others. 
Buwan ng Wika is celebrated during the month of August. "Katutubong Wika tungo sa isang bansang Filipino", this is the theme for this year's Buwan ng Wika. Did you also know that there are eight languages and among that eight languages, they pick our major language? And that major language that I am referring to is the Tagalog language. Even though we have different languages and we are using different languages, we are still able to understand each other, we're able to communicate with other people because of this major language.
In connection
to the celebration of this Buwan ng Wika, every school has different activities
to do. Some of the activities are poster making, poem writing, singing,
pageant, and many more. With the help of these activities, the students will
slowly understand the importance of celebrating this event, the Buwan ng Wika
and to know why does this celebration is significant.
Let us not be
ashamed of what we really are. Let's be proud of it instead. Despite of the
languages that are mostly influencing us, let us not forget to still use our
own language.
