Writer and pro-Duterte supporter KRIZETTE LAURETA CHU lauded the real Filipinos of the year after the Philippine Daily Inquirer acknowledged Pinoy Ako Blogger Jover Laurio through their very own survey:

I'm so sorry to the fallen heroes of Marawi, to their suffering but dignified widows, to the evacuees who are trying to piece together their lives after terrorists attacked their city.

I am so sorry to that group of young Filipino students and delegates who bested other nationalities in the international math competition in Singapore (Singapore, the birthplace of Singaporean style Math, and our kids won.)

Im sorry to Hilary Andales, the student from Philsci Visayas, who brought home P20 million for winning the Breakthrough Challenge for an explainer video on relativity in a global science competition.

Sorry to the Philippine ice hockey team who won a gold medal at the 2017 SEA GAMES. A surprise win, and a very welcome one.

Sorry to Capt. Jeffrey Buada, the Scout Ranger who negotia…

Dear Sen. De Lima,

In the light of the countless massacres, ejk, & bombings which proliferated in 2010-2015, the Filipino as a nation cannot negate that these senseless killings were clear phenomenon during your stint as DOJ Secretary under Tuwid na Daan.

》RAPE CASES (92% up in 4 years):
¤ 2010 : 5,132
¤ 2014 : 9,875
¤ NOTE: 70% of the victims are children

***

》VICTIMS of Riding-in-Tandem:
¤ 2010 :  1,819 victims of riding-in-tandem
¤ 2011 :  2,089 victims of riding-in-tandem
¤ 2013 :  3,000 victims of riding-in-tandem

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

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."

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?

The challenge to "linguistics expert" community, as such, is to provide some consistent guidance around what exactly differentiates a "language" and a "dialect"?

I'm tempted take advantage of this chaos among the "experts" and crown myself a de facto expert on the subject. But maybe I might serve the "debate" a bit well by deferring to that other Oracle of internet truth. Here is what the venerable Wikipedia (my boldface for emphasis) has to say...
