Who among you here are studying at schools with an English Language Policy that won't allow you to speak any language but English? It's tiring, right? Well, we do get a break when it's time for our Filipino and Social Studies subjects. But, it's become the least of the concern nowadays.
I mean, it's not that many of us cannot speak the English language fluently, in fact, more than half of the current population of students and working people can speak the language well, if not fluently. Our teachers are really concerned about this policy, you know.
My point is, why are we forced to speak the language that aren't ours?
I admit, I'm a lover of the language but that's simply because I'm greatly enthralled with its history and my curiosity really got the most out of me in this quarter. But alas, because of this policy, many of the Filipino students nowadays (which include me) cannot speak in perfect Filipino language anymore. And that's what terrifies me most.
