Sa tingin ko po ay kailangan pa upang ang mga kabataan dito ay kahit
papaano ay may maituturing kanila.  Ang iba nga ay nagaaral pa ng ibang
salita, bakit hindi tagalog?
 Ang masaklap diyan kung banatan ka naman ng pasagot na matalas sa kanila
na kung bakit lumayas ka sa ating bansa at naging Free Rider na lang sa
Amerika. Huwag na natin pang ipilit sa kanila kung bakit. Kung hindi rin
tayo handang sumagot ay malilito lamang sila kung saan naman gagamitin ang
wikang Filipino.
Ang mabuti pa ay itanim lagi sa isip mga kabataan na maging role model at
iwas sa mga masamang bisyo ngayon sa Amerika na katulad ng drugs at mga
ibang bisyo na nakakakilabot. Magiging celebrities sa larangan ng Sports,
Sciences, at Business ay iyan sana ang dapat na ipahiwatig sa kanila. Sa
ganoon ay magiging sikat ang Filipinong Amerikano. 
Ewan ko ba, pero hindi 'yata iyon ang tanging dahilan kaya nagnanais ang
ibang kabataang Pilipino (na ipinanganak at lumaki dito sa Amerika at
saka doon sa tulad ni DJ AWKKAZT na bata pa ay nilisan na ang Pilipinas
para humanap ng mabuting kapalaran dito sa 'tate) na tanungin ang
kanilang sarili, o di kaya'y ang kanilang magulang, at ang mga
nakakatanda sa kanilang paligid ukol sa kanilang lahi, kultura, at
anumang bagay na ukol sa inang bayan na Pilipinas. Sa tingin ko ay
natural na nangyayari ito sa mga kabataang nag-hahanap ng kanyang sarili
lalo na doon sa mga nag-aaral sa kolehiyo at pamantasan dito sa Amerika
-- na karamihan na ay iniingayok ang kanilang mga estudyante na unawain
at pag-aralan ang kanilang sariling kultura at ganoon na din sa kultura
ng ibang bansa upang maitaas ang pag-uunawaan ng mga tao at maiwasan din
minsan ang hindi pagkakaunawaan sa isat-isa. Hindi lang wika ang
tinutukoy ko dito sapagkat hindi lang iyan ang nilalaman ng kultura.
Maaari din nilang pag-aralan ang kasaysayan ng bansa at ang mga bayani
na ipinagmamalaki nito. Lalo na itong mga bayani natin -- kung ang mga
ito ay napag-aaralan ng ating mga kabataan ay siguradong malaki ang
maiitulong nito sa pagtingin nila sa sarili nilang lahi. At mapalad
talaga ang bansang tulad ng Pilipinas dahil tayo ay maraming mga bayani
-- babae man o lalake -- na dapat talaga nating ipagmalaki. Kung
titingnan mo siguro 'yong ibang bansa sa Asia ay makikita mo na halos
wala silang mga bayani na ipagmamalaki -- samantalang ang kasaysayan ng
Pilipinas ay talagang mayaman sa mga ito. Tulad halimbawa nitong bansang
Malaysia, alam mo ba na ang ministro nilang si Anwar Ibrahim ay
hangang-hanga sa bayani nating si Rizal at iminungkahi pa nga niya sa
mga ibang bansang lahi ng "malay" na ituring nilang lahat na si Rizal
ang magin bayani ng lahat "malay" sa Asia.
Pero, na-palayo yata ako sa ating pinag-uusapan dito :-). Bumalik tayo
sa ating talagang paksa : kung kailangan pang pag-aralan ang ating
sariling wika. Taga-saang parte ka ba ng Amerika, Tikbalang? Doon ba sa
inyong lugar ay maraming mga lahing hispanico? Tulad halimbawa ng mga
galing sa Mexico, Central America, at iba pa. Alam mo eh dito sa
California ay marami sila at ako'y minsang natutuwa at naiinggit minsan
pag may nakikita akong mga kabataan nila na sama-sama at nag-uusap-usap.
Ang kanilang magulang ay hindi nahihiyang gamitin ang sarili nilang wika
sa pag-uusap sa kanilang maliliit na mga anak. Ganoon din ang kanilang
mga kabataan -- hindi sila nahihiyang gamitin ang kanilang sariling wika
kapag sila'y nasa publiko. Ang tanong ko minsan sa sarili ko ay : bakit
kaya hindi ganoon ang mga Pilipino? Alam kong maraming klaseng "dialect"
tayong mga Pilipino pero sa dinami-dami nating mga naka-kaintindi ng
Tagalog e bakit ni halos wala akong makitang mga kabataang
Pilipino-American na nag-uusap sa pamamagitan ng Tagalog. Bakit kaya?
Iyong kayang pagtingin nila sa ating sariling wika ay natututunan nila
sa kanilang mga magulang at ng ating komunidad?

Siguro naman ay hindi kailangang maging "sikat" muna ang Pilipino bago
maging role-model ng ating mga kabataan. Sapat siguro na maunawain natin
ang kanilang pangangailangan habang sila'y lumalaki.
I think you should have asked this question in English to address those
that did not learn how to speak the Filipino language.
Parents can always make the decision, but its wise to get
a feedback from the youth that never learned but wanted to.
There are those that read this NG that do have opinions on this....
so speak up, a lot of us that can teach you or youth like you
that maybe younger and can still be taught. 
Do them a favor and state your opinions.
As for me, I teach whatever I know (which maybe nothing).
Phasers will be set on stun and Nelix will hold off on the 
Klingon meals.
Here's my hypothesis.  Since the  parents who speak the dialects don't
think it's a big deal to speak the language, they don't put as much value
on speaking the filipino dialects as speaking english.  In one way, they
try to make life easier for their kids by having them learn only one
language.  On the other hand, it is difficult for parents to be constantly
interrupted and asked, "what does that mean?"  
It is odd though since if your parents speak a language you don't
understand, as a child, one would want to understand what your parent is
babbling about.  I remember trying to learn ilokano when i was ten or
eleven.

You know lemon, your mouth is once more running without the knowledge of
your head.  Knock, Knock, Knock!!!  Anyone there?  Are you that infinitely
dense that you actually think the above?  Do you really think that
filipinos come to the united states to become americans?   Did you come
here to be an american?  
Could you please explain to me in detail the logic of your thesis?
Actually, can you explain to me what your thesis is, if you have one.  Are
you saying that speaking the filipino dialects is not important in
america?  Is that your thesis?  I would like to know if you would want to
support your ideas with statements of proof or your own logic before I
start flaming you, or discussing with you or just simply ignoring you.  
It's too bad that you are limited by your ability to post insults yet
when it comes down to it, your opinions are left unexplored.  At least the
outcast has shown his ability to elucidate his thoughts both in english
and tagalog.  I might even say that he was quite eloquent with his
statements.  you on the other hand have a big problem with putting 13
sentences together to make a thought.  Are you envious of the fact that
outcast has managed to create a thread which people want to discuss?
Well, why don't you scrunch over the porcelain throne and dunk your head

probably cause a severe hemorrhage in your brain which might cause some

firing away like there was no tomorrow.  Or you could take some crack
cocaine.  That might cause you to have some sort of imagination.
So, can you finally prove to us once more whether you have a brain you use
or your brain is just there  so that your head does not float out to
space.  I for one am getting tired with your missives which belong with

i realize of course that lemonhead actually posted something of worth in
the thread that discusses life in the united states compared to the
philippines.  however, the majority of his posts often lack reflexivity
<okay ba augusto?> and analysis of serious questions posed by a filipino.  
considering that i spent an hour in the flame i posted, i decided, what
the heck, might as well post it up to amuse people.  hopefully, the flame
will amuse someone out there.  
and let's get this right.  my flames are based on what people write.  not
whether i was a female or a male on that particular morning.  if you
suddenly find yourself being flamed, i'm not picking on you.  I'm picking
on what you wrote the last few weeks.  
By the way, martial law is still in effect as if you folks did not know.
Any stupid, irrelevant or foolish post will be challenged with a post
equally stupid, childish and irrelevant.  Hopefully the collision of the
1st stupid post with the 2nd stupid post will create hilarity in scf.  at
worst, we should get a smile from the collision.

For your information lemonhead, you used exactly five sentences in the
post below.  Of course, if you used some sort of grammer checker, you
probably could have gotten 10 sentences.  If you wanted proof that you
could not put together 13 sentences together, you have it on the bottom.

Why should it be sickening?  Why would people who look for their culture
when they have established their capacity to support their basic human
needs be sickening?  I see the Irish-Americans in Chicago playing the bags
and pipes
when a policeman or fireman dies.  I see the Chinese-Americans celebrate
the Lunar New Year in CHINATOWN every february.  I see everyone celebrate
Mardi Gras in New Orleans every year.  In fact, I see that ethnic pride
and celebrations are constantly held throughout the year.  Heck, I even
saw some people celebrate the Scottish Rite Gathering.  By the way, your
statement above is one sentence.  Wow!!!
 
Can you explain to me why it would be sickening to try and define one's
culture, background and history?  Heck, if i wanted a low blow right now,
I would ask you what are you doing here?  Why aren't you just surfing
somewhere else?  Isn't it because you need to define yourself and reaffirm
yourself as a filipino?  Isn't it because under a different dominant
culture, you need to find your own identitity in a familiar culture?
 
If i did not know any better, I would say that you are afraid of accepting
the fact that the filipino culture is important.  If i did not know any
better, i would suggest that deep down, you just want to be an american
and forget all the primitive little filipino traditions and cultural
beliefs which have held back your progress into a new man.  If i did not
know any better, I would say that you don't like your filipino culture.
But then again, I am not that stupid.

It's amusing how easily you disregard what it seems to me so much a big
question mark in everyone's mind here.  i remember that phase.  It lasted
approximately 10 years.  Then, someone asked me what made me filipino.
After i had some problems defining, I had to ask myself that question.
 
However, your solution for parents to go back to the philippines to save
on laxatives is laughable at best and pitiful at worst.  Would you go back
to the philippines if you were faced with the same questions we are
facing?  Would you permanently take your children back to the philippines
in the face of certain inconveniences just to teach them  culture?  Could
you not teach them filipino culture while they are here?

I believe that the majority of your previous posts are stupid, loose,
foolish and dumb.  Some are one sentence missives; others are just not
logical.  You can take the quoted parts here as my proof for the latter
part of my assertion.  You can take your stalking behavior of tatie as

What you said above is true.  What gives me the right to say you are
braindead is the
tons of crap which you have posted.  You say things which are opinions but
they don't have any clear logic.  You say things which are laughable when
examined by someone with a half functioning brain.  You say you are trying
to contribute, but you are not open to other ideas.  You use sarcasm and
yet you don't show an alternative.  You are just like ketosis, but you are
worse because you are a fellow filipino trying to dismiss what other
filipinos find important.  Ketosis can hide behind the idea that perhaps
he is not filipino and that he does not understand filipino rules of
behavior.  But then again, ketosis has made intimations that he is
filipino.  in which case, the two of you belong on the same boat.
 
Get up and smell the coffee!!!  If you
want to be an asshole, you need to live up to some expectations like me
and Totoy Tigas and bob the parrot.  You need to be able to make people
laugh.  But noooooo, you just turn people off.  You are trying to be an
honorable contributor when your tactics employ the same tactics of flamers
and trollers.
 
Figure out what you want to be in this newsgroup.  if you want to be
respected, start posting with posts which show you thought about what you
wanted to say.  Otherwise, if you keep posting like you have done so, you
are going to join totoy, retong and bob in our putrid little pond of
excrement and spit.  Even if you cover your words with little satins of
elegance, i will rip those disguises and point out that you are just like
me, a flamer and a troller.

Talagang sayang ang Tagalog!
Kitang-kita ang erosyon ng kulturang pilipino sa Pilipinas at dito sa
Norteamerika.
Hindi gaya ng mga Intsik o Hapon, ang Pilipino ay masyadong minamahal ang
Inggles.  Ano ba ang ginagamit ng mga ito sa mga dokumento ng negosyo,
gobyerno, edukasyon, o teknolohiya?  Sa karamihan ay Inggles!
Dito sa Kanada, ang mga diyaryong Pilipino ay gamit ang Inggles, hindi
Tagalog.  Nakakahiya!  Ang problema ay hindi malaki ang literatura sa
Tagalog.
Dapat tumingin ang Pilipino sa kanilang kapitbahay, sa Indonesia at
Malaysia.  Doon ang gamit nila ay wikang Malay (ang tawag nila ay "Bahasa
Melayu" o "Bahasa Indonesia"); gamit nila ito sa teknolohiya, negosyo,
gobyerno, at edukasyon.  Ang ginagawa nila ay pinalalaki ang kanilang
bokabularyo para puwedeng gamitin sa lahat ng mga linya.  Dapat gayahin ito
ng Pilipino.  Puwede namang i-Tagalog ang mga salitang Inggles o Kastila.
Halimbawa...  Ano ang Tagalog sa "DNA" (deoxyribonucleic acid)?  Wala. 
Puwede ba ang "asidong deoksiribonukleyo"?  Ano ba ang "computer" sa
Tagalog?  Wala.  Puwede ba ang "kompyuter"?  Ganito ang ginagawa ng ibang
Asyano.  Sa sulat ng Intsik ang "computer" ay "utak na elektronika".  Sa
Hapon ang "computer" ay "kompyutaa".  Kaya malaki ang bokabularyo ng wikang
Inggles ay humiram ng maraming salita sa wikang Latina at Pranses.
Hindi sapat ang gamit ng wika sa pagkakanta at paghuhunta lamang...

Ay, sinabi mo, pare ko! Kahit dito sa California, ang mga pahayagan ng
pamayanang Pilipino ay nasa Ingles. Ang mauyam talaga ay kahit saan ka
magtungo, nakakabingi ang alingawngaw ng "Filipino Pride." Kahit iyon,
Ingles din! Bakit hindi na lang sabihin na "Alab ng Lahi"?

Sayang nga. Sana nama'y mayroong mga kataong magsinais magsulat sa
Tagalog, isang wika na isinulong ni Francisco Baltazar sa "Florante at
Laura" (at kabayan ko). Maganda at mamuyangyang, nguni't ipinapasantabi.

SAPOL MO, PARE KO!!!
Ayan, sino man ang nagbabasa nito, isipin nang mabuti ang sinabi ni Victor.
Mayroong akong mga kaibigan na taga-Indonesia, intsik pa sila, pero ang
wikang gamit nila ay Bahasa Indonesia sa eskuwela, gobyerno, at kung saan
pa. Alalahanin natin na sinakop sila ng mga Olandes noon, at tulad nang
paghalo ng salitang Espanol sa Pilipino, ay may halo rin silang Olandes sa
kanilang katutubong wika. Kung sa ganoon, maaari ngang gawing Pilipino ang
mga banyagang salita tulad nang ginawa nila.

TUMPAK ang iyong pagsusuri. Sa aking pananaw, kinkailangan na may gawin
ang gobyerno sa Pilipinas kung nais nilang mabuhay pa ang wikang Pilipino.
Unti-unting napapalitan ang mga salita ng Ingles dahil sa maling kuru-kuro
na mas "nakakaangat" at "edukado" ang nag-iingles. Ang nangyayari ngayon
ay Taglish na ang nagiging pambansang wika. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, sa
Indonesia hindi itinuturo ang Ingles hanggang sa pagsampa ng mataas na
paaralan. Hindi kaya dapat ganoon din sa atin, upang mas matindi ang 
pundasyon sa wikang katutubo?

What I see in most Filipino parents in the US is a hesitation or lack of 
motivation to persevere in teaching their children Pilipino, partly because 
of their belief that it will hinder their academic performance in school. I 
say, look at the Chinese. I know many whose parents don't speak English and 
and were raised in Cantonese or Mandarin, yet they're the ones who are 
straight-A students. Surely we can also engrain the language to the
younger generation so that they develop a strong sense of identity, values, 
and heritage. It breaks my heart everytime I hear about young Pinoys waste
their life on gangs or of young Pinays get pregnant out of wedlock.

Mayroon akong nabasang parte ng isang debate sa porsiyong letter to the
editor ng isang sikat na pahayagan sa Pilipinas ilang taon na ang
nakalilipas. Propesor ng UP ang tumutugon sa sulat ng kadebate. Bakit daw
tayong mga Pilipino ay iginigiit ang paggamit ng Ingles sa halos lahat ng
bagay. Isa sa kanyang mga punto ay kung bakit daw masyado nating
ipinagyayabang na isa tayo sa mga bansa na kung mayroong maraming taong
nakakapagsalita ng Ingles. Tanong niya, "Umasenso ba tayo"? Maraming mga
bansa ang sumulong at sumusulong na hindi kinailangan matutong magsalita
o magsulat ng Ingles kagaya ng Taiwan, Japan, Germany, China, France,
Hongkong, Malaysia, atbp. Tanong niya, "Ipinagmamalaki ba natin ang
pagkakaroon ng English-speaking workforce around the world na in-demand
karamihan nama’y mga alila, piyon, elektrisyan, at iba pang posisyon na
nagbibigay ng mababang suweldo"? Maliban dito, karamihan sa mga
prupesyunal natin ay hindi naman pinakikinabangan ng Pilipinas kundi
nagsisipunta sa US, Canada, UK, at Australia? Brain drain kung tawagin?
Totoo na maraming salitang ingles ang walang katumbas sa ating wika pero
hindi ba ganito rin ang nangyayari sa ibang mga nasyon na ang ginagamit
ay ang kanilang wika? Maraming salita ang nagsisisulputan na imposibleng
nasa bokubularyo rin ng iba pang mga lenghuae. Pansinin ninyo ang mga
produktong binibili ninyo na may banyagang translasyon bukod sa Ingles.
Mapapansin ninyo na mayroong salitang hawig sa Ingles. Katotohanan na
sila rin ay nagkakaroon ng problema sa pagsasalin ng mga salitang wala sa
kanilang bokabularyo. Ngunit ang buod ng kanilang wika ay naka-preserba.
Noong nasa Cebu ako nadiskubre ko na wala silang salitang yelo kundi
‘ice’. Ang tsokolate ay sukwate. Ang salitang ‘illustration’, halimbawa,
ay puwede ring ilustrasyon sa tagalog.
Pero napapalayo na yata tayo sa diskusyon. Ang tanong ay, "Kailangan pa
ba"? Ito'y kani-kanyang sariling preperensiya na...kagaya ng nabanggit ni
Mang Pedro na wala raw siyang pakialam kung ano ang ituro mo sa iyong
tahanan. (Maiba ako, ang SCF ay hindi forum para makialam sa buhay ng may
buhay kundi ipahiwatig lamang ang sa palagay ng sumusulat ang ilan sa mga
kamalian natin - sa kanyang opinyon...Kung ang tunog man ay pakikialam, e
marami tayong maaakusahan dito na pakialamero).
Kailangan pa ba? Malinaw ang sagot, kung dito ka naninirahan sa US,
Canada, o Australia at wala nang balak pang bumalik ang pamilya mo sa
Pilipinas o makipag-associate sa iyong mga kalahi, sa palagay ko’y hindi
na kailangan. Gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya para maging isang
tunay na ‘Kano’ ang aking mga anak at makasali ng maayos sa sosiyedad na
kanilang kinalakihan. Maaaring himukin ko pa silang magsipag-asawa ng
puti. Ang katotohanang nandito ako sa SCF ay malinaw na hindi ko kayang
lisanin ang kulturang aking kinalakihan. Matagal ko nang hinarap ang
katotohanang ako at aking mga magiging anak ay hindi kailanman magiging
mentalidad na puti kundi Pilipino. I have faced the fact that we can
never completely and truly belong to a society that has a completely
different past and where the majority have different physical
appearance...
As Rene Saguisag, a brilliant lawyer who always prefer to speak in
Tagalog when interviewed, quipped in one talk show, "Kinubabawan ng
makamundong pagnanasa...".

Palagay ko nga na dapat ganoon din sa Pilipinas.  Masyado naman ang
dependensiya sa Inggles.  Nagiging dayo ang Pilipino sa kanilang sariling
lupa.  Palibhasa'y "Sesame Street" na laang ang pinanunuod ng mga batang
Pilipino!
Biktor
Kahanga-hanga ang inyong pagturo ng kultura sa inyong mga anak sa
pamamagitan ng pagturo ng wikang Pilipino. Sana'y marami ang tumulad
sa inyo.
Ako ay hindi sumasangguni sa iyong panukala na huwag ituro ang Ingles
hanggang makatuntong ang isang estudyante sa mataas na paaralan.  Ito
ay dahil sa hindi mo na nga maiiwasang maharap sa wikang Ingles sa
araw-araw na pamumuhay.
Ang kailangang gawin ay tapatan ang mga palabas na katulad ng "Sesame
Street" na nagtuturo sa wikang Ingles ng mga palabas na nagtuturo sa
wikang Pilipino, tulad ng "Batibot".  Pagkatapos ay paghusayin ang
pagtuturo ng wikang Pilipino sa mababa at mataas na paaralan, hanggang
sa kolehiyo at unibersidad (kung saan ay dapat isama ang mga kursong
Ingles at Pilipino sa listahan ng kinakailangang pag-aralan sa
malawakang pag-aaral (ika nga sa Ingles, required courses in General
Education).  Sa katunayan pa nga, SAO (sa aking opinyon) dapat ay
ituro rin sa mga paaralan ang wastong paggamit ng mga wika ng
kanya-kanyang probinsiya, tulad ng Bisaya, Ilocano, atbp.
Ito ay upang kaya nating makipagtalastasan sa ibang tao ng mahusay, ke
Ingles, Pilipino, o ang ating nakagisnang "dialect/language"  ang
gagamitin.  
At kailangan na rin nating aminin na may mga bagay sa mundong ito na
sadyang walang pangalan sa wikang Pilipino.  Tulad ng "computer",
"television", at "radio".  Tulad nga ng sinabi mo, Victor, ang dahilan
kaya patuloy na lumalago ang wikang Ingles ay dahil hindi siya
nangingiming humiram ng salita mula sa ibang wika, tulad nga ng
Kastila, Pranses, pati na rin Pilipino (halimbawa ay "boondocks" na
galing sa salitang "bundok").  Sa aking pananaw, hindi naman
nababawasn ang wikang Pilipino kung ito'y manghihiram ng mga pangalan
mula sa ibang wika.  Nabawasan ba ang wikang Pilipino nang hiramin
natin ang salitang "radio" at ginawa nating "radyo", o kaya ang
salitang "television" o "T.V." at ginawa nating "telebisyon" at
"ti-bi"?  Hindi naman.  Kung ganoon, bakit tayo maiilang kapag ating
ginagamit ang salitang "kompyuter"?
Nais nga ba nating tularan ang Pranses, na nais panatiliing puro ang
kanilang wika, kahit kaharap nila ang mas maikling salitang "weekend"
kumpara sa kanilang "le fin de semaine", o di kaya ang salitang
"brinkmanship" kaysa sa kanilang "le politiques du bordre de goffre"?
(Paumanhin sa aking baluktot na Pranses.)  Naka-tsamba lang sila noon
sa "splashdown" na ginawa nilang "amerisssage" (na ang salin sa Ingles
ay "sea-ing").
Sa aking pananaw, hindi pa gumagamit ng Taglish ang mga nagsasalita ng
Tagalog (o Pilipino) ng gumagamit ng pangalang hiram sa Ingles, tulad
nga ng "kompyuter".  SAO ang ibig lang sabihin nito ay patuloy na
buhay, nabubuhay, at lumalago ang wikang Pilipino sa paghiram ng mga
pangalan galing sa ibang bansa.  Ngunit kapag kinakailangang
maghalo-halo ang mga...(Susme!  Kinapos na rin ako!  Patawarin ninyo
ang inyong abang lingkod.) "sentences" na purong Ingles at Tagalog,
iyan SAO ay Taglish, at dapat iwasan.
Ang wikang Pilipino ay isang napakahalagang parte ng ating kultura.
Ngunit dahil lubhang mahirap gamitin ito sa harap ng makabagong
pamumuhay, dahil tayo ay nahihiyang magsali ng mga bagong pangalan ng
mga bagay -- lalo na sa mga bagong bagay -- mula sa ibang wika,  dahil
sa natatakot tayo (ng walang dahilan SAO) na mababawasan ang ating
wika kapag tayo nga ay nanghiram ng ibang pangalan mula sa ibang wika,
ang wikang Pilipino ay naiisang-tabi ng ang kapalit ay ang wikang
Ingles.
Ngunit SAO hindi nababawasan ang wika kapag nanghihiram ka ng mga
pangalan mula sa ibang wika para sa mga bagay na walang pangalan sa
wika mo; bagkus ito ay magiging katulad ng Ingles na nadadagdagan, at
patuloy na mananatiling buhay, nabubuhay, at lumalago.

Ang paksang ito ay matagal na naming pinagusapan dito. Nauunawaan ko ang
iyong damdamin. Nguni't kailangan mong unawain na mahigit sandaan ang
salita sa 'Pinas. Kung ididiin natin ang Tagalog tulad ng panukala ni Manny
Quezon, ay magkakaroon ng alitan sa mga tiga-Bisaya at sa iba pang lugar.
Bakit Tagalog? Bakit hindi Cebuano? Ilonggo? Pampango? Ilokano? Naunawaan
mo ba?
Datapwa't ang Ingles ay isang tanging salita na mapagkaka-isa ang ating
bansa. Walang sisisihin ng "regional colonialism" kung Ingles ang ating
pagkakasunduang maging wikang pambansa.
Hindi ko sinasabing dapat nating kaligtaan ang salita ng ating katutubo,
maging Zambal, Waray o anu pa man. Dapat ituro ang katutubong salita sa mga
unang mababang baitang ng paaralan. Nguni't sa pagsapit ng mataas na
baitang ay dapat maging Ingles na ang gamit sa pagturo.
Sa bansang Tsina ay marami ring salita. Sa Beijing ang salita ay Mandarin,
sa timog ng bansang iyon ay Cantonese at iba pa. Walang batas sa Tsina na
ididiing Mandarin lamang ang tanging salitang dapat gamitin. Ang kagandahan
lamang sa mga salitang Tsino ay anuman man ang salita ay iisa ang pagsulat.

Alalahanin natin na ang Pambansang Wika ay Pilipino na batay sa Tagalog,
Espanyol, Ingles, Intsik at mga katutubong wika. Hinggil sa iyong tanong,
nais kong sagutin ng isa pang tanong: Hindi nga ba marapat na kinakaila-
ngang isang wika ang magsasanib ng ating lahi, isang wika na magiging
tulay sa pagkakaunawaan ng mga iba't ibang mga katao sa iba't ibang mga
lalawigan? Para sa akin, kahit Bisaya, Panggalatok, Tsabakano, o ano pa
man ang mapagkasunduan, tatanggapin ko ito kahit na Tagalog ako. Dahil
ang hangarin ng bawat Pilipino ay dapat para sa ikauunlad at ikatatatag
ng ating bayan at HINDI sa pagkawalay-walay at kanya-kanyahan. (Malungkot
ko man aminin, minsan kahit kami rito sa Amerika ay ganyang nagkakanya-
kanyahan.) At kung ibig nating magkasanib ang mga Pilipino, hindi rin ba
marapat na ang piliin nating wika ay isang katutubo at hindi banyaga?

Nguni't ang pambansang wika nila na itinuturo sa paaralan ay Mandarin.
Totoo, kakaiba ang sulat nila na kahit tagasaan ka man ay mauunawaan mo
ang sulat (gawa ito ng isang emperor noong unang siglo na, sa balak na
magkaisa ang mga Intsik, naisip ang sistema na ang sulat ang may kahulu-
gan, anuman ang salita). Kaya nga lang, nang maging pinuno si Mao Tse-Tung
ay binago niya at pinasimple ang pagsulat para pulos komunismong pagsulat 
lang ang maintindihan ng mga tao (noong Himagsikang Pangkultural).
Pananaw lamang ng inyong lingkod.

to tell you the truth, i did.  not as blunt as you would have wanted to
but i did.  right in front of the parents too did i spoke to the kids in
filipino and took my time explaining and translating in filipino which
the kids found to be very interesting.  yes i have the balls little
man.  dahil tunay na pinoy lamang ang may lakas ng loob na iparinig ang
kaniyang opinyon lalo na kapag alam niya na opinyon lamang ang kaniyang
pinapahayag at hindi siya takot mapunta sa alanganin.  alam ko naman na
opinyon lang ang aking sinabi sa kanila at hindi nila kailangang
sunurin.  ipinapahayag ko lang sa kanila ang nararamdaman kong gusto
kong sabihin.
> have you ever been reproached by natives at work while conversing with a
> fellow filipino in filipino? 
nope.  kahit kailan hindi.  because they know that whatever i say is my
business and my business alone.  and here where i live, there is a very
important thing that people give you and that is respect.  respect for
other cultures, languages, and practices.  gusto pa nga nilang matutong
magtagalog eh!  bakit, napagsabihan ka lang eh nabakla ka na?  anong
klase ka?  o sige, akala ko ba kano ka na?  bakit naman parang hindi mo
pa alam ang mga pwede mong gawin dito sa tate?  what, never heard of
freedom of speech?  come on, isa ka pa rin palang palpak eh.  nakakaawa
ka talaga.  sa totoo lang pare, ILANG TAON KA NA?  kasi iniisip ko mas
matanda ka sa akin kaya ang turing ko sa iyo ay isang tao na dapat na
mas-marami ang alam kaysa sa akin.  INAAMIN KO na hamak na bata lang
ako, ipakita mo naman sa akin na may pinaroroonan ang takbo ng pag-iisip
mo.
>at work, have you ever been told " homer,
> kindly speak english in america."?
NEVER.  freedom of speech is the rule of the day EVERYDAY where i work. 
first of all i work in a diverse work place.  employees in my work place
range from asian indians to africans, and everything in between.  like
me they emphasize in preserving their language and with this in mind,
everyone learns how to respect each other.  besides, almost everyone
wants to learn a new language where i work.  so speaking in other
languages during breaks and lunches is a very common thing where i
work.  and in my other job, i work as a martial arts instructor.  need i
say more?  i believe paranoid thinking is what you're pestered with. 
you're a trembling punk that's scared to voice out your opinion.  if
someone's busting their balls and pulling their hair out because they
want to understand what you're saying, then f%$# them.  not trying to be
disrespectful to YOUR workmates but whatever i'm saying is probably not
for them if not understood by them.  i mean why the hell are they all up
in my business anyway in the first place?  come on, now let me ask you
the same question:  DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO SHOW TO THE WHOLE WORLD
THAT YOU'RE A PROUD PINOY?

to all your other questions, refer to my answers above.  besides being
stereo-typed as a non-english speaking (ahem), never would that ever
happen.  first of all, whenever i do work, i'm always talking to
customers and/or my students so there's no way in hell that they would
ever stereo-type me as a non-english speaker.  ganito kasi dito sa mundo
na ito, bata.  kapag ikaw ay laging nagpapatulak, itutulak ka nila
hanggang hindi ka na makatayo.  sa mga pinagsasabi mo, ay naniniwala ako
na nagpatulak ka ng husto sa iba na pinabayaan mo silang pababain ang
pag-tingin mo sa sarili mo lalo na sa wika at kultura mo.  pare, matuto
ka namang magtaas-noo.

  this is precisely the point i'm trying to convey, mr fish for brains 
web page designer. even if some filipino parents are linguistically 
handicapped, we should not forbid them to try teach their kids how to 
speak english. instead let us help them.

and one last note mr web page designer fish for brains, just keep on 
designing them web pages, will you homer? leave the flaming to uc 
berkeley dude and to totoy tigas or whoever is gonna take uc berkeley 
dude's place.
Err...lemonhead, I think it's a good time to be careful in what you
post here. Understand that you're entitled to your opinion, but do be
tactful in how you present it. Like you (or everyone else), I don't agree 
with what everyone here has to say (and it sure goes the other way, too).
But do try to be less confrontational and more open-minded with what other 
people are trying to get across. You'll learn more about our culture that 
way, not to mention avoiding getting roasted to a golden crisp by the vets
here. 
SCF is a place is a cool place to discuss, share, and gain more knowledge
about our Filipino culture. It can also be a great place to just hang
out and enjoy the company of folks here (thanks, Bambam). So make the
best of it!
Well, unless you want outcast to give you some free martial arts
lessons...
<giggle, giggle>
Ron,
Please don't play with the display.  Those things are here so that the
people who need to get a wife or a girlfriend can be trolled.  If you
raise his blood pressure, there is no telling what kind of beauty our
mascot will exhibit.  Sure, that is fun, but what happens if he pops a
valve?  Who's going to clean up the mess and have the balls to plug in a
new valve into his awnings?  
Last i checked, he's showing cracks all over his structure.  If this keeps
up, he might actually implode from all the laughter he's been trying to
hold in.  And don't forget that if johnythor is correct, our mascot spends
his time cutting out pictures from books and stuff.  Interesting life.
You know what my ideal party would have?  If my introduction was something
like this:
lemonhead, this is rcwarrior. rc, this is lemon.
Just from the meeting of two opposite forces which by the way has been
shaped by the united states armed forces, i would venture that we could
harness the energy of the sun.

Sang-ayon ako. Magandang hangarin iyan, kaibigan. Sana nga ay maraming
mga magulang ang magtiyagang magturo sa kanilang mga anak ng Pilipino (o
anumang katutubong wika). Sa ganoon, hindi nalilimutan ng mga bata ang
kanilang kultura at pamana.

  performing the old swithcheroo ey?  That is soooo useless against
Hall Of Flamer manuever 5-A!   Firstly, the issue was parents teaching
their kids ONLY english, and ignoring the native tongue.  And edning

AHA!  i have never seen such an INTELLIGENT, HARDWORKING HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATE.  hmm...  i believe ain't, shit, and wannabe, were the hardest
and most intellectual SAT words that i have ever seen.  seeing such
intelligence in this newsgroup really makes me feel inferior.  i wish
there were more smart, true, dedicated, loyal, unhypocritical, and proud
filipinos in this newsgroup.  oh man, this guy just makes me feel like
i'm nothing.  like i'm dumb.  like i'm not filipino because my
intelligence is not as high as his (ahem, i mean hers--sorry lemmy).  i
really believe that filipino youths would look up to this figure to

check this out.  you said, HARDWORKING?  i think that's an
overstatement.  I'M a hardworking high school graduate.  do you know
what hardworking means?  you can't tell me that the reason that high
school students here in jersey have higher SAT scores because of
libraries and what not, that has nothing to do with getting high SAT
scores. you said hardworking?  i think that's bull.  if you're
hardworking, you would do the best you could do to get resources such as
magazines, tutors, books, review/enhancement classes, information from
the net, teachers, family members, THE BOARD OF ED, YOU CAN GET
INFORMATION TO HELP YOU OUT FROM THE SAT BOARD THEMSELVES!!!  come on. 
i busted my ass to get a descent SAT score, so don't tell me that
someone is hardworking and would still come out as a "loser" (sorry for
being extreme scf'ers).  KNOWLEDGE DOESN'T COME TO YOU IN A SILVER
PLATTER, YOU GO AND HUNT, BUST YOUR BUTT, AND SACRIFICE THINGS TO GET TO
IT.  libraries, come on.  it's just like saying Pilipinos speak tagalog
because there's not a lot of american cars in the philippines.  stupid
statement right? exactly! 
 
>   vp joseph estrada speaks carabao english yet he is a strong contender

i would go in depth on that, but that's a different flame subject.  in
my opinion, our government in the motherland is full of sh@#$!!!!  it's
corrupt as hell, idiots are running around thinking that they know how
to run things (believe it or not, my uncle back there is a trainer/tutor
for the new candidates in office since they don't even have ANY
governmental background), and actors/actresses, ex-coupe d'etat leaders,
etc. are being elected as senators, coucilmen/women, etc.  that's why
it's all f'ed up.  he's a strong contender because he has ENOUGH MONEY
AND POPULARITY TO BECOME A STRONG CONTENDER.  nowadays in the r.p., 
just because someone's running things doesn't mean they know what the
hell they're doing.  i might be wrong scf'ers but that's my opinion.

irrational?  and why is that?  their children are being bombarded with
english radio stations, tv channels, shows, friends, teachers, and
schools.  if not practiced at home, where else would the practice, while
taking a dump?  not practicing with their parents is a suggestion that's
irrational.  who else would would teach them if not their parents their
non-filipino friends?  what the heck are you thinking about my fiend.

ba? at saka tarantado ka pala eh, may mura ba sa tagalog na
parehong-pareho and ibigsabihin ng motherfucker?  wala, kaya yon ang
mura ko sa 'yo.  iniinggles mo ako, tatagalugin naman kita.  hay naku
nga naman oh, ang iba sa atin, sobrang bobo.  inaakusahan ang isang tao
ng isang bagay na siya ring kanyang ginagawa.  HOY!!!  KUNG ANO ANG
HINDI MO GUSTO AY 'WAG MO RING GAWIN SA IBA!!!  ngayon nagpupuputok ang
butsi mo para kang pwet ng nagtataeng manok.  tumigil ka na nga. 
tatakutin mo pa ako.  at tatanungin mo pa kung anong reaksyon ko kapag
minura mo yung nanay ko?  bakit hindi mo pa ba alam?  kaya nga kita
tinatarantadong ganito dahil ginawa mo na eh kupal.  tatawagin mo akong
motherfucker, tapos ginago mo itong thread ko, binastos mo yung wika
kong pinakamamahal kasama yung kulturang pilipino,  ginago mo yung mga
ibang pilipino kamukha nung co-worker mo, tapos nagtataka ka pa kung
bakit ganyan ang turi ko sa 'yo.  kundi ka pala sobrang bobo.  and to
top that off, you're threatening MY HOUSEHOLD, you're threatening MY
LIFE?  he he he, pare taga tondo ako kaya dehins na uubra sa akin yan. 
'wag mo kong takutin baka patulan kita, sige ka, dehins mo ko kilala....
mayroon kayang mga relihiyoso na nagbabasa nito? pang ilang commandment
ba yung: do unto others what you want others to do unto you? 
pakitulungan na lang si lemonsita dito at kailangan pa yatang kumuha ng
ccd classes eh.  kawawa naman, baka umiyak na.  isa pa ulit
lemmy"dick"head, gusto mong malaman kung anong pakiramdam kapag minumura
ng isang tao ang aking ina?  nakakatawa.  alam mo kung bakit?  kasi
pareho lang kaming ina na pinanggalingan at yoon ang PILIPINAS.  kaya
kapag ginago mo yung wika nang INAng bayan ko, minura mo na rin siya,
minura mo na ang buong mamayanang pilipino, kasama na doon ang mga nanay
natin.  o baka naman masyado kang mababaw para maintindihan 'to.  well,
i guess mga tunay na pilipino na nagmamahal sa ating bansa lamang ang
makakaintindi nito.  so i guess you won't get it.  damned sell-out.
i mean, come on now my dear lemmy.  please don't do that, you're making
me scared...you're giving me an erection! ha ha ha ha.  ahnoh kha vah
hah, mahsyadoh kha namhang mavhilees. hi hi hi hi, dwahan-dwahan lwang.

ano ba 'to Rhetong?  ang galing eh no, nakakalalake.  napasama ba 'to sa
mga tinuli mo?  nasobrahan yata eh, wala nang natira.  ang sama mo
talaga.  ngayon tingnan mo yung nangyari, imbis na mangamatis, niregla!
ha ha ha ha.  hay nako, tama na nga.  nasosobrahan na ako sa tawa, baka
kabagan pa ako.  well, i guess ok lang 'yon as long as hindi ako
constipated kamukha ng iba dito...he he he
p.s.
lemmy baby, kung tanga ang mga posts mo, mas tanga ang posts ko.  kung
bastos ka at mahilig mag-mura ay nakupo lalo na ako.  kaya kung ano man
ang gawin mo, sasabayan kita.  walang pikunan, baka makutusan.  at isa
pa, 'wag ka namang nililibog sa mga sinasabi ko.  nagtatrying-hard lang
akong maging isa sa mga hall of flamers.  he he he. oh namutla ka naman
kaagad.  ito yung tissue o, 'wag ka ng iiyak. tahan ka na.  kawawa naman
talaga itong batang ito.

oy mamang chef, gusto ko ng lemon flavored chicharon, extra crispy ha. 
mainam yon para dito sa san miguel ko.  at saka doon sa crispy pata ng
mother in law ko gusto ko may sawsawang toyo na maraming lemon.  at saka
pahingi nga pala ng lemon na mangangat-ngat para dito sa vodka ng lola
ko.  at isa nga palang lemon pie para dito sa nanay ko.  he he he. 
lintik lang naman ang walang ganti.  'di ba chef calderon?  motherfucker
pala ha, tutustahin kitang kupal ka.
dj,
huwag mo nang patulan iyan.  aalis din iyan kapag wala nang kumakausap sa
kanya.  tingnan na lang natin kung matatauhan siya.  sabi niya ay edukado
daw siya.  sa kanyang pagsusuri ng mga tanong nakikita ng buong mamamayan
rito na hindi niya nalalaman ang ibig sabihin nito.  
saka bakit mo naman pinupurga ng todo?  baka lumabas lahat ng bulate niyan
