Filipino is one of the most widely used language in Philippines. It is our "Mother Tongue". Filipino, also known as Tagalog, is my preferred language because I was trained and made to speak in Tagalog. While, English language is the most preferred language when speaking to foreigners. And also, almost all schools are implying the English speaking campaign. So some Filipinos are used to speak in English.
It is truly a rivalry between the two languages. But with Tagalog I always prefer side in. Our ancestors tried to fight with freedom to speak and act. So, now all of us are having the same ideals. Our way in speaking is not important. But we should also be careful in using our own language because sometimes we always misinterpret words. Tongue has the power to control and it is the most powerful weapon of all. So, language also can affect lives.
Filipino or English? It is always right to choose a side. But don't forget that what you are and what you're born with is in your blood. You are a Filipino so be proud. You are fluent in English, be proud also because someday your skills and your right decision will make you the best of all.
