“We used to think learning Filipino was important because it was practical: Filipino was the language of the world outside the classroom. It was the language of the streets: it was how you spoke to the tindera when you went to the tindahan, what you used to tell your katulong that you had an utos, and how you texted manong when you needed “sundo na.””
What a delightfully Arnean thing to say : )

The article speaks of how English is the language of the LEARN-ed… whilst this is true, the Learned are really dumb for not learning to communicate in Filipino. Para saan pa ang natutunanan niyo kung hindi niyo rin ibabahagi sa bansa?
At mahiya ka kung Pinoy ka at hindi ka marunong magsulat at magisip sa Tagalog, hindi yun cute! Yak, it’s like tae.
