ACCOUNTANTS (Pagtutuos), TAKE NOTE!!!
A bill filed by Sen. Lito Lapid asks that
proposed laws should be written in Filipino
(Pilipino). Likewise, the official spoken language
in the senate should be Filipino.
But I doubt this bill will see the light of day.
Read on to know why.
Ang Paggamit ng Wikang Pilipino
A young, good-looking representative from
Laguna sponsored a bill
recommending the Filipino language be used in all
levels of accounting firms and
banking institutions. The solon claimed it will
provide a better understanding of the business transactions for
those who are inexperienced
and non-English speaking citizens.
The bill received unanimous approval from the
House and was presented to the President for signature
to become the law of the land. But in
spite of the overwhelming pressure from the members of
the Congress, the President vetoed the bill.
Why?
She explained that when the English
"business" words are translated in Tagalog,
they sound very malicious (malaswa)
and are "nakaka-hiya at
nakaka-kilabot!"
Very Manila High ang dating, I should say.
