The Philippines composed of ethnic groups that having their own dialect. Over one hundred dialect have in the country. Some of them are the Ilocano, Bicolano, Ilonggo, Pangasinense, Cebuano, Waray, Pampanggo, Tagalog, and other ethnic dialects. During the time of Commonwealth, President Manuel L. Quezon noticed that in every place of the country he visit he Found out that when he speak Filipino they can't understand him. Rather than to speak he decided to speak Filipino so that they understand him.After this happening, he declare the Filipino Language as the NAtional Language of the Philippines in 1898. This was first use by the people in Baler, Quezon. He ordered that in every school in the Philippines they must taught the Filipino Language as one of the major subject of the students. After many years passed, Filipino Language became popular to us. We already know how to speak filipino and we can also communicate to other ethnic groups by using the National Language. Now this language is the key of understanding, sharing our thought and ideas, and most of all the progression of our country. Remember that having a National Language is very important because this is the one who can unite each other.
