As the country observes the Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Tuesday called on the public to empower the Filipino language as he believes that speaking the foreign language is not the sole measurement of intelligence.
"Inaasahan ang bawat isa na makilahok sa intelektuwalisasyon ng Filipino, nang sa gayon ay mabago na sa ating kamalayan na ang pagsasalita ng banyagang wika ay hindi ang natatanging pamantayan ng karunungan," Marcos said in his message.
"Tiyak na sasagana, sisigla, at liliwanag ang ating kinabukasan kung itataguyod natin nang buong dangal at pagmamahal ang ating wikang pambansa," Marcos added. He also reminded the public that the Filipino language is not limited to Tagalog but a collection of other dialects in the country. "Napapanahong paalalahanan natin ang ating mga sarili na ang Filipino ay hindi limitado sa mga salitang likas lamang sa Tagalog, bagkus ay isang kalipunan ng iba’t ibang wika sa buong kapuluan, na naglalayong magbuklod sa ating lahat tungo sa pagsulong ng mas maunlad at nagkakaisang Republika," Marcos said.
"Isaisip at isapuso natin na tayo lamang ang makapagpapatibay ng wikang taal sa ating pagkakakilanlan," he added.
