| The school Bully Analogy of the national language, why it should be driven out. by JoeMax Another analogy is – there is a bully in school his name is UP Tagalista. He keeps on bullying this person called Visayan for no apparent reason at all. So he ask for help from the principal called the Philippine government. The Philippine government, then advises Visayan these words: "Oh just don't mind him, anyway he is your friend, your brother, he is not a foreigner,he is your kababayan. So you share the same heritage at hango kayo sa isang linguwahe, kultura, at isang wika." And the Philippine government just further advise him, "Oh just pacify UP Tagalista and compromise with him like giving him some money(taxes), your baon, your self-esteem, and your dignity and more. The point is just go with the flow, so that you will not be branded as a troublemaker(secessionist). So Visayan follows the advise of the principal( Philippine government). So Visayan does everything what the Philippine government advises him. Visayan compromised with UP tagalista, but not knowing that the money (taxes) being given to UP tagalista was being used in his PRT gym exercises. So UP tagalista has become so big, muscular, and so strong. The problem with Visayan - the bullying of UP tagalista became worst and became a daily occurence, because he is becoming bigger with more muscles in his body. So Visayan decided to change his approach, because of compromising with UP tagalista, his bullying ways got even worst. So Visayan decided to fight UP tagalista head-on, but he has one problem: UP tagalista has become muscle bounded due to his PRT exercises funded(taxes) by bullying of Visayan. So he asked help from his real friends: Kapampangan, Ilocano, Pangasinese, Zambal, Tausug, and other non-tagalog friends. Visayan confided his problem with his friends: " You know UP tagalista has been bullying me for quite some time now, I should have fought him a long time ago while he is not that big and muscle bounded, I find it impossible now to fight him alone, so I need your help my friends." So Kapampangan, Ilocano, Pangasinese, Zambal, Tausug, and other non-tagalista friends then said, " Oh here is our plan, we will give him enough rope by tying him, then after that get a baseball bat so you can beat him." So Visayan was very enthusiastic, he did what was plan , they tie him, so he can beat the blue out of UP tagalista. After doing that UP tagalista just went chicken outright, and Visayan got the respect he really wanted. It is by standing firm on the ground. The non-Tagalista friends of Visayan then said, " Why did you not tell us a long time ago that you were being bullied by UP Tagalista?" Visayan then said, "Oh I thought I could not count on you guys." His non tagalista friends of Visayan then said, "We were also being bullied into submission and silenced by UP tagalista before, we never thought no one will ever stand up to him, thanks Visayan for bringing it to our attention, you banded us together to fight him, we too are suffering from his bullying tactics." So as any story goes, UP tagalista was banished from the kingdom of the Philippines , and the non-tagalog friends of Visayan, and Visayan himself all lived happily ever after! J Wonderful story right. What did the Visayans do in the 1987 constitution convention, they compromised with the Tagalistas for the sake of national unity by allowing the word Filipino inserted as the national language. What did we get, they use this as a justification to impose Tagalog upon us in our schools. Aside from that to add insult to injury, they banned our language , our history, our culture from being taught in our OWN schools. To further add insult to injury the word "auxiliary" was also inserted into the constitution for regional languages. Lesson learned: Give an inch to the Tagalista bullying tactics through name calling, they will take a mile. No compromise in driving out the national language for good, so that we can all live happily ever after as the story goes above. Drive this out from our lands, so we can all flourish and be empowered as a nation. No compromise, as history would show us, it will embolden the Tagalistas in the ethnic cleansing of the Philippines . They are really intent in the Tagalization of the Philippines for good. This is the Philippine equivalent of Russia 's russification campaign. Tagalog language is hidden under the skirt and neutral name of Filipino in order to ever avoid detection of its imposition. No compromise in driving out the national language, or else if we don't do so, this will lead to the fragmentation of the Philippines . Drive this out of our lands! Learn your history lesson guys, so we don't repeat the same mistake, what did they do to us in the compromise? It made them even worst beings. They have intensified with the greatest zeal their Tagalization campaign as time goes by in our land. Tagalistas your time is up. It is time for real democracy to take over. Get out now! The Philippine government is involved in ethnic cleansing of the Filipino people. It is intent on the Tagalization of the Filipino people which is an utter disrespect to the diverse cultures and the linguistic heritages in our country. Tagalista ideology is nihilistic, it is built on the premise a good Filipino has to be tagalog, possess tagalog culture, and speak Tagalog. What if you are not tagalog, so the obvious would happen: Marginalization and ethnic cleansing. The Philippine government does not promote any other culture except Tagalog, but hidden under a deceptive name Filipino language and under the guise of patriotism. We are not anti- Tagalog, because we have friends and family who are Tagalog. It is a beautiful language. It is too a mother language worthy of preservation. We are not anti-Filipino because we possess that citizenship. But we are anti-neo colonialism through the continued imposition of Tagalog( Filipino Kuno?) without our consent at the expense of our empowerment. We are pro-mother language advocates. The Tagalog language was able to flourish through the taxes of non- tagalogs and tagalogs alike. But what do non-tagalogs get in return? NONE but contempt for their unique culture. Fight Tagalization and the UP Tagalistas! They will not stop their bullying ways not unless we stand firm and unwavering in pressing for our valid human right, which is linguistic rights. It is time for the Philippine government to stop its hypocrisy which is one of the original signatories of the Universal declaration of Human rights. We will not be bullied anymore, because these UP tagalista are intent on destroying our diversity in this country. They believe in one thing: Unity through uniformity at the expense of our dignity. No compromise, drive out the national language from our lands. We have done that before through compromise, we get nothing but more oppression and domination. No national language or whatever name they will call it ( Filipinization, Pilipino, Filipino, unity language, national lingua franca, and etc) shall ever be mentioned on the constitution. We should be vigilant in any reference either direct or indirect of any national language provision. UP tagalistas stop hiding under the cloak of patriotism, your true intention is Tagalization of the Philippines , you will not stop until you accomplish your aim. Get out! There will be no slaves, if there are no willing slaves. The UP Tagalistas have done enough damage to our culture and language. They are oblivious to the multilingual and multicultural set-up of the Philippines . No compromise drive out the national language for good! This message should be resounding and firm to these UP tagalistas. We don't believe in government brainwashing anymore: " Ang Filipino ay hindi Tagalog kundi hango siya sa iba't ibang wika ng Pilipinas. Ang Cebuano, Ilocano, Hilgaynon at iba pa ay dialecto ng Filipino" Stop this crap, it is a broken record. As the saying goes, " You may fool a person once but you can't fool them all the time." Stop marginalizing, ethnic cleansing, and the Tagalization of the Filipino people. This will only backfire through rebellion and secession. Let us not be foreigners in our own lands by making our regional languages be official in our lands (Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilokano, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Kapampangan, Bikol, Pangasinan, Maranao, Maguindanao, Kinaray-a, and Tausug ) Let it be the language of supreme focus and the medium of instruction in our schools. Let English be the neutral leveler tongue among Filipinos. Tagalog should be disestablish and dislodged as the national language, it needs a lot of rope from non-tagalogs to do this. Tagalog is not a neutral tongue, it will place non-tagalogs in a linguistic dis-advantage with native tagalong speakers. See how they mock us on TV with our accent. Let Lapu-lapu be our inspiration. Let us drive out the national language in our lands for good, so that it will not bother us anymore, and remind us of our second citizenship status even in our own linguistic backyard. It is great to go diving in the ocean( Philippines ) wherein you can see great diversity(various ethnolinguistic group) with great wonder and color co-existing with one another respecting the natural balance, the way God made it. The Philippine government linguistic policy is live and let die. Not live and let live. Fight the Tagalization of the Philippines , fight ethnic cleansing under the guise of patriotism and hiding the skirt of the name "Filipino". Drive the national language out for good in our lands, so convince your delegates to do so! No more compromise on this, to do so is like being content of being foreigners and second class citizens even in our own linguistic backyard. Disestablish the national language in the Philippines for good. It has no value upon us except native tagalong speakers because they are privileged at the expense of our empowerment as a nation! |
