Ang Wikang Filipino ay:

1. Hindi pangmasa, bakya, jologs, pampalengke, pangkalye, o pangshowbiz lamang ang Wikang Filipino

Madalas natin napapakinggan ang wikang Filipino bilang pang-araw-araw na wika kaya't ito ay naging isang wika na nauunawaan ng lahat. Bilang isang wika na nauunawaan ng lahat at wikang pambansa ng Pilipinas, aakalain na mataas rin ang kalagayan nito sa bansa. Subalit imbis na maganda ang katayuan ng wikang Filipino, ito ay naging isang wika na kapag ginamit ay tinitingnan nang mababa ng karamihan. Ito ay tinatrato na wIkang pangmasa, bakya, jologs, pampalengke, pangkalye o pangshowbiz lamang. Upang malaman natin ang rason kung bakit ito ang naging kalagayan ng wikang Filipino, kailangan natin tingnan ang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas.

Ang Pilipinas ay sinakop ng tatlong bansa bago ito nagkaroon ng kalayaan. Sa paglipas ng mga taong tayo'y nasakupan, nadebelop ang kolonyal ng kaisipan ng mga Pilipino na nagsasaad na ang dayuhan na bagay ay superyor. Dahil dito, umusbong ang wikang Ingles bilang isang wikang propesyonal at max eksklusibo kumpara sa wikang Filipino. Naging mataas ang pagtingin ng mga tao sa mga gumagamit ng wikang Ingles at naging mababa para sa wikang Filipino.

Subalit, para sa akin, ang wikang Filipino ay malayang at mas magandang gamitin para sa iba't ibang bagay. Ito ang ating wikang pambansa na dapat natin ipagmalaki sa lahat ng tao. Dahil ito ay isang wikang naunahan ng lahat, mas kapaki-pakinabang na gamitin ito. Ang wikang Filipino ay nagtataglay ng ating kultura ng ating mga ninuno kaya't dapat mataas ang pagtingin nito ng mga tao. Kaya't bilang isang Pilipino, kailangan natin ipagmalaki at tangkilikin ang paggamit ng wikang Filipino sa lahat ng bagay.

2. Ang Wikang Filipino ay Wika ng Akademya sa loob at labas ng bansa. Kung gayon, ay wikang intelektwal

Maaaring isipin ng karamihan na ang wikang Filipino ay ginagamit lamang sa Pilipinas dahil sa mababang pagtingin ng mga tao sa bansa. Ngunit, ang wikang Filipino ay hindi lamang ginagamit sa loob ng Pilipinas, ito ay ginagamit at natutunan ng mga dayuhan sa iba't ibang bansa tulad ng Russia, Switzerland at Germany. Ang pagkakaroon ng interes ng mga dayuhan sa wikang Filipino ay isang malaking bagay dahil sila ay naglalaan ng oras upang matutunan ang wika natin. Dapat natin tanggapin na maganda talaga ang wikang Filipino at hindi lamang isang wika na walang silbi. Dahil dito, dapat tingnan ng mga Pilipino ang wikang Filipino bilang Wika ng Akademya sa loob at labas ng bansa at bilang isang wikang intelektwal.

Sa mga nakaraang taon, maraming ginawang paraan ang mga iba't ibang tao na itaguyod ang paggamit ng wikang Filipino sa akademya, batas at iba pa. Ito ay kanilang ginamit sa iba't ibang pananaliksik at mga propesyonal na bagay. Dapat natin ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pagsisikap na tangkilikin ang wikang Filipino at patuloy na gamitin ang wikang ito.

Bilang konklusyon, tayo bilang mamamayang Pilipino ay dapat tuluyang gamitin ang wikang Filipino sa lahat ng bagay. Ito ay dapat tangkilikin at ipagmalaki sapagkat nakapaloob dito ang kultura ng ating mga ninuno. Kaya't dapat mataas ang pagtingin natin sa mga taong gumagamit ng wikang ito.

8 Ways a Tsunami is Similar to Heartbreak

          Tsunami and heartbreak—these are two words that many people have heard at least once in their lives, but they are not commonly heard together. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is capable of reaching heights of over 100 ft. It could be generated by an earthquake, a submarine volcano eruption, a coastal/submarine landslide or rockfall, or extraterrestrial impacts. Heartbreak, on the other hand, occurs when a person experiences emotional pain or suffering caused by the loss of a loved one. It is also an emotion that one may feel when he or she is rejected by someone whom they dearly love. At first glance, one may think that these two words have little to no correlation with one another, but little do they know that there is actually an underlying relationship between these two terms.

          Here are eight similarities between a tsunami and heartbreak:

1.  Loss cannot be predicted.

Losing something has always been devastating; it is hard for people to deal with this because it often goes hand-in-hand with change. People typically hate change, and with loss, there is a great demand for change. Tsunamis equate to a big probability that one would lose something, and that could make that person fear losing it. A great example of this is losing valuables—the individual becomes worried because it is gone. This pattern could also be observed in relationships.

2.  Risk is present in both areas; if either parties become vulnerable, one or both would inevitably suffer.

Risky situations such as relationships could make people suffer mentally and physically. Just like in disasters such as tsunamis, one cannot simply stand by and do nothing; he or she should strive to make a difference by saving oneself. This concept also applies to relationships—if one is not aware of everything that's happening in the relationship, the whole setup would inevitably go south. This could happen in the blink of an eye.

3.  Preparation and commitment are needed for recovery.

One must always be prepared for the hurtful experiences that come with being in love. A break up has the power to devastate an individual emotionally just as much as a tsunami does. One must also be committed to what he or she is doing. This is not to be treated as a game but as a life-defining experience.

4.  Both are traumatic experiences.

It is almost always impossible for things to go well always during a tsunami and a relationship. Both scenarios give rise to problems at unexpected times. For example, unfortunately having an intense argument with one's significant other may prompt him or her to terminate the relationship. Because of this, the person on the receiving end would be traumatized, greatly hesitant to love again since he or she would doubt if it would even last. Similarly, in a tsunami, when one is unprepared, widespread damage and even the loss of a loved one may occur. If such a scenario were to happen repeatedly, one would surely no longer be in the right state of mind.

5.  Both scenarios induce grief.

Grief is an emotion that comes naturally to a person when he or she loses something that is valuable to his or her life. During a tsunami, a person may lose his/her house or even a loved one. Similarly, during heartbreak, a person would also lament the loss of someone who was dear to them. In both of these scenarios, the loss of something valuable induces grief.

6.  Both are not easy to forget.

A tsunami has numerous effects on people that will never be forgotten, most especially for people residing in rural areas. During such a calamity, houses are washed away along with material possessions, leaving people with nothing left to hold in their arms. Love can be likened to a tsunami because it is very hard to forget the experience in itself. A breakup is a devastation because one would have nothing left to hold in his or her arms.

7.  Doing one's best is not always good enough.

When one is unable to foresee the signs of an impending tsunami, doing his or her best becomes irrelevant. When a person feels like he or she is always doing good, he or she would not expect anything bad to happen. Before a tsunami strikes, one would most likely not expect an impending catastrophe. Similarly, in love, in spite of a person's best efforts, in the end, that best may still not be good enough.

8.  If one does not take the matter seriously, he or she would die inside and out.

When a relationship is not taken seriously, one or both parties will suffer. When one considers the relationship as a joke, the other would eventually be forced to terminate the relationship, which would in turn affect both parties' self-esteem and emotional stability. This may then lead to figurative or literal death.

          Always remember that whenever there is a tsunami, heartbreak would ultimately follow. Being able to lend a helping hand to the victims of a tsunami would greatly be appreciated by those people. Remember that no one ever wants to experience heartbreak, so make sure to help the people who would encounter a tsunami in order to avoid the great suffering that is heartbreak.
