Another point is
Ok...let's have Tagalog as our national Language but never refer to tagalog as Filipino
And I'd rather have english as our medium of instruction... and please speaking english instead
of Filipino ain't un-patriotic or un-nationalistic...it's just being practical
if we wanted to be globally competitive then let's be more effective and communications is one thing
and contributing to our country's development is way more nationalistic & patriotic than just speaking
our native tongue or tagalog
