FILIPINO LANGUAGE: EXPRESSION OF MY

CULTURAL VALUES

by: RAZEL R. LINING

· Volume VI Issue I

I live in the land of Filipino heart.

I have a language that plays a part,

Filipino language, a gem in sight.

I am a Filipino, who shines so bright.

 

I speak Filipino, its grandeur profound.

I practice cultural values all around.

My language is reflection of my soul.

To share Filipino rich culture is my goal.

 

I utter ‘po and opo’, with elder’s hand,

Speaks of respect in my country’s land.

A unique way of receiving blessing,

I’m blessed, a Filipino worth-living.

 

I’m genial with a gentle language,

Warm smile, embrace, truly a package.

In my place, you are welcome to stay.

One of core values, glowing each day.

 

I listen to my town’s perception,

That have been passed each generation.

“If you plant, you harvest,” my inspiration.

Pearls of wisdom, a piece of tradition.

 

I found a scene with a bond so strong.

Cebuano, Ilocano, all are belong.

Working together, Bayanihan alive,

A language spoken, a trademark revive.

 

I love my family and God who guides.

It’s my language that connects and rides.

Sweet words while in mother arm’s length,

Close family ties, I find my strength.

 

I’m proud of my language, it’s my expression.

With every word, key values are mention.

With its melodic tone, culture embraced.

For in Filipino language, I am amazed.
