hindi ako galit james soriano

"Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are."

dre hindi tayo magkakilala at hindi ako galit sa'yo.

namamasyal kasi ako sa cyberspace ng nabasa ko ito kaya medyo nagpantig ang tenga ko. tol, i am a filipino like you are. i don't claim to be as good in english like what you are but i'll try to drive my point home. see, if you know the history of languages it is always the dominating power in the world that dictates which language becomes widely used. let me remind you that during the greek period almost all people of the known world spoke greek. same case for roman empire who spoke latin everywhere in their dominion. don't deify english as something superior above all languages simply because you were born in an era when english speaking countries rule the world. let me pose a hypothetical question to you my friend: had the allies in ww2 lost, would your mom still be teaching you english? tingin ko hindi. ganito kasi yan dre, mamamatay ang wikang ingles at some point in time (pustahan pa!). now to refute your baseless claims..

"For while Filipino may be the language of identity, it is the language of the streets. It might have the capacity to be the language of learning, but it is not the language of the learned.

patay tayo dyan dre! magpuprotesta sa libingan ang mga dakilang pilosopo, siyentipiko, at mga pinuno nung panahon ni kopong-kopong tulad nila plato, aristotle, pythagoras, nietzsche, alexander of macedonia, julius caesar, napoleon bonaparte atbp. hindi kasi sila marunong magingles e. hindi pala sila "learned" sa standards mo. dre kahit ang panginoong jesucristo (aramaic at latin lang ang salita) sino pala ang learned? si g.w. bush? si sarah palin? si aling dionisia?

"I may be disconnected from my being Filipino, but with a tongue of privilege I will always have my connections."

dre, ito ang pinakamalaking kahangalan sa mga sinulat mo. can you not grasp with what mental faculties you have that when you speak english in places where it is widely spoken, you are just like everyone else? you're as common as a house cockroach (for lack of a better comparison) hindi ka "kunek" simply because you speak their language. baka isipin pa nilang unggoy kang nag-iinggles at pagkakitaan ka sa peryahan. at kapag nagsalita ka naman ng ingles sa isang bansang hindi ingles ang katutubong salita magiging "iba" ka. tandaan, hindi magkapareho ang "iba" sa "espesyal". your concept of language is somewhat oblique. knowing english will never elevate you to a position above your "katulongs", "tinderas", and "manongs".

"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.”

marami ng namatay para sa wikang ito dre, alam mo yan. wag mo sanang maliitin ng ganun-ganun nalang. napansin kong paulit-ulit ka sa "language of the streets" na drama mo, kung ayaw mo sa "streets" edi lumipad ka, hindi yung bibirahin mo yung mga taong naghahanap-buhay na hindi ka naman inaano. hindi nakakatalino ang english at hindi lang sa classroom nabubuhay ang tao tandaan mo yan. you are just a miseducated and misinformed "konyo" who thinks he is lord over creation simply because you finished reading dan brown's novels or that mundane vampire romance called "toilet" series (ay, twilight pala).

wag ka muna magpaka-diyos. you only scratched the surface of english language yet you act as though you are some sort of a scholar. nabasa mo na ba yung finnegan's wake ni james joyce? naintindihan mo ba naman? eh yung war and peace ni tolstoy nabasa mo na? saka ka na mag-angas dre kung nabasa at naunawaan mo na ang mga yan. ang sagwa lang kasi dre, para ka lang nakikipagbarilan at wala kang dalang bala.

ipapaunawa ko sa'yo ang tunay na kakanyahan (essence) ng wikang filipino. basahin mo ang ANG KALUPI ni Benjamin Francisco. at sabihin mong mayroong katulad nyan sa wikang ingles na dini-diyos mo.
