Was the nationalisation of the Philippine language to Tagalog ever achieved its goal?
Yeah, it did. English is an international language that could be used as an efficient tool in the business industry and in everything else. Nobody can deny that. Personally, I think that speaking in English as a Filipino is considered being nationalistic. In a country wherein one must rely on the English language as a tool of survival and success, it’s certainly helping our economy. But I agree with you about the scattered English. It’s quite annoying at times, really. But we completely understand each other anyway. And you’re even lucky you understand some other dialects because I can understand only Tagalog and English. Now, just think about people like me… then maybe, you’ll truly understand…
