WIKA NAPAKAHALAGA!!!

     Sa buwan ng Agosto, ipinagdiriwang natin ang taunang Buwan  ng Wika. Iniaalala natin ang mga nagawang mga akda, nobela at mga kuwento ng ating mga manunulat na Pilipino noon na konektado sa mga nangyayari sa ating bansa. Ipinapahayag nila ang mga kasamaan, kasakiman, at karahasan na nangyayari sa kanilang paligid araw-araw. Ipinapahayag din nila ang mga epekto ng mga ito sa mga mamamayan. Nag-isip at nagplano ang mga manunulat na itinuturing na mga bayani ngayon kung paano nila maipapahayag ang mga kanser sa lipunan na kanilang napapansin at kung paano nila masusugpo at mareresolba ang mga ito. Ipinahayag nila ang mga ito gamit ang sarili nating wika.

        Magbalik tanaw tayo, ang wika ay napakahalaga sa mga tao sapagkat ginagamit natin ito sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa ating kapwa tao. Nagagamit natin ang wika sa pagpapahayag ng ating emosyon at damdamin. Noong unang panahon ang wika ay isang bahagi ng pakikipagtalastasan. Kalipunan ito ng mga simbolo, tunog at mga kaugnay na batas upang maipahayag ang nais sabihin ng kaisipan.

     Ang tema sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika sa taong ito ay " FILIPINO: Wika ng Pagkakaisa". Alinsunod ang pagdiriwang sa Proklamasyon Blg. 1041 na nilagdaan ni dating Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos. Ipinahayag nito ang taunang pambansang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa tuwing Agosto. Dagdag pa, ang mestiso Espanyol na si Manuel Luis Quezon ay ipinanganak noong Agosto 19, 1878 sa Baler, Tayabas. Si Manuel L. Quezon ay kilala bilang "Ama ng Wikang Filipino". Itinuturing na "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa". Tinagurian ding "Ama ng Republika ng Pilipinas", dahil siya ang unang pangulo ng Commonwealth ng Pilipinas. Namatay si Quezon sa sakit na tuberculosis noong Agosto 01, 1944 sa Saranac Lake, New York. Nakaukit sa kanyang huling himlayan ang mga katagang: "Statesman and Patriot, Lover of Freedom, Advocate of Social Justice, at Beloved of his People.

      Noong Setyembre 23, 1955, idineklara ni Pangulong Ramon Magsaysay ang ika-13 hanggang ika-19 ng Agosto kada taon bilang Linggo ng Wika. At noong Enero 15, 1997, idineklara naman ni Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos ang buong buwan ng Agosto bilang Buwan ng Wika. Ito ang kasaysayan ng wika na tinatalakay  noong hanggang ngayon. 

   Isang layunin ng pagkakaroon ng isang wikang pambansa ang pagpapalaganap ng pagkakaisang pambansa, ang pagkakaroon ng isang heograpiko at pampolitika na pagkakapatiran at maging ang pagkakaroon ng isang sumasagisag na pambansang wika ng isang bansa.   

#Flashback Memories

            Technology is the present world. It affects people's daily lives. Everyone has seen the moody, withdrawn kid with music blasting out of his/her white ear buds, or the girl or the boy rapidly texting on his/her phone. For instance, our parents and grandparents did not have fancy cellphones or high-tech computers back then because it was never created. But the youth of today are constantly immersed in technological advancements that promote nonstop communication and instant gratification, whether through cellphones, gaming systems, laptops, or MP3 players. But are these technological advancements a good thing? Yes, because it makes the life of people easier and this technological advancements can help us in our daily lives, whether it in school or at home. And for me the purpose of this technologies is for educational purposes only and for some pastime is for gaming.

                  In our ICT subject I learned something like making our own blogspot and trying to put something in there. And I discover I can write essays/journals to be posted in my blog. This blog is not only a requirement but at the same time, this blog can make me express my feelings or emotions about the happenings in our environment and society. And I discover in making my blogspot is that editing the posts I posted and editing the background of my blogspot  to be more presentable.

                 Nothing problems or challenges I have encountered but the only problem I have encountered is the internet connection when it is not functioning well or the network connection is not available and so I cannot make my post anymore. But I address this problem/challenge by asking help from my teacher in ICT IV, Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz. She is the one who can help  me in my problem. She can fix the problem I encountered in my computer  workstation.

                   Moving on, I will do everything to do my activities, projects and assignments be a good outcome of every sacrifices I made.
