Hello phong, "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay daig pa sa mabahong isda." This means - One who does not know how to love his own native tongue is worst than a smelly rotten fish. This is the famous line of our very famous national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. His pen is mightier than sword. Through his writings people in his time got inspired and got courage to fight back what was due for nations sake. Until now his name is still living in our hearts. He is the author of six great quotation one is the above mention 2. The youth is the hope of our future. 3. There can be no tyrant where there are no slaves. 4. He who doesn't know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination. Lastly which i like.People that preserves his language, it also preserves the mark of his liberty. With this last quotation together with my friends we organized a group of whom are lovers of old songs in our own dialect. You reminds me a lot of things to do. Thanks!
