Taking pride in Philippine products
Every year in August we observe the Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa or National Language Month. By virtue of Proklamasyon Blg. 1041, s. 1997 issued by the late former President Fidel Ramos, the nationwide observation of the Buwan ng Wika recognizes the linguistic diversity of the Philippines and the importance of preserving these as part of our culture. For this year, the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino has chosen the theme: “Filipino at Mga Katutubong Wika: Wika ng Kapayapaan, Seguridad at Ingklusibong Pagpapatupad ng Katarungang Panlipunan.”
