Mga Higala, let’s celebrate Buwan Ng Wika by uplifting not only our national language, Filipino, but also the culture of our mother-tongues!
As we all know, the Philippines, apart from its 7,641 islands, also have around 120-187 languages and dialects. While English and Filipino are the nation’s official lingo, Cebuano or Bisaya language predominant rules the regions VII, IX, X, XI, and Caraga.
