Jose Rizal never had Tagalog in mind when he encouraged us to love our own language

By -

Posted by a certain Chloe Santiago on the Facebook GRP Community Group : Jose Rizal died in 1896 and Tagalog was declared the official language of the Philippine only in 1937. This can only mean that Rizal wasn't really talking about Tagalog when he made this statement: "He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish." Indeed. Who made the arbitrary directive to make the Tagalog dialect the "National Language" to begin with? Furthermore, why have a "National Language" when Filipinos are already proficient in the global lingua franca of commerce and scientific achievement?

DECS should investigate politically-motivated coercion practices of the Ateneo and De La Salle administrations

The yellows know they don’t have the numbers, so they tried to hijack a university basketball game and use the crowd to paint an illusion. This is a new low even for the yellow high priests of the academe. To Father Villarin of Ateneo and Brother Broughton of De La Salle: Your job as educators is to teach your students to think for themselves, not brainwash them into becoming blind followers of your personal beliefs. The directives you issued “encouraging” your students to wear black to protest a jumble of issues from EJKs to the Marcos burial in Libingan ng mga Bayani is no less than abuse of power. You were using your position and authority over your students to promote your own political views. Thank God most of your students are smarter than you, and refused to take your directive seriously, as seen here: Call for solidarity 'unheeded' as fans keep colors for Ateneo-La Salle game Du30 fans fistbump at the game! Good number of Ateneo, La Salle fans ignore

Day 2: Senate hearing backfires against a rattled Senator Leila de Lima!

Just watched Day 2 of Senate hearing. Tables were turned once again on De Lima, without any effort it seems from the PNP or Duterte's senate allies. This must really be karma at work, or Duterte's magic is really strong. De Lima opened the session by saying she had asked ABS-CBN, Inquirer, and GMA 7 to submit their "kill list" databases and methodology for compiling the lists. However, only GMA 7 submitted. Strange. If those lists were being prepared properly, shouldn't these media groups have their databases and methodology on hand at any time? Or were those lists haphazardly done? Sandra Cam showed up in the middle of the hearing and sat directly behind De Lima. But Cam disappeared after a while, so viewers were not treated to scratching and hair-pulling. A group of women wearing dark glasses, masks, and headscarfs sat in a row on one area–I don't know why De Lima made them dress like jihadist terrorists, but they were her witnesses. (No offense mean

The humiliation of never having been the first female Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court

The last few days must have been really hard for never-had-been-chief-justice Lourdes Sereno. Congratulations have continued to pour in citing not just newly-appointed Chief Justice Teresita De Castro's eminent qualifications but also her being the Philippines' first female Chief Justice. Indeed, this is a huge blow to Sereno. It is very likely that she regrets the day former President Benigno Simeon 'BS' Aquino III suggested she step up to the office she now never occupied. To add to the humiliation is the evidently warm welcome accorded to De Castro by the Supreme Court staff. Suffice to say, it can be easily surmised that Sereno was not at all well-liked by her never-had-been colleagues and staff in the High Court. Sereno is better off lying low and ignoring any further pats on the back (and on the head) coming from the Yellowtard community. This is a community of inbred thinkers who had utterly failed to evolve. And Sereno is a sad casualty of this Yellowt
