The resounding Whisper of Filipino

In a diverse country with over 120 languages spoken,

Diverse tongues that were creatively woven.

Languages originated from ancient roots.

Filipino, a language of rich culture to boast.

 

From rich history to wealthy sceneries

to beautiful green mountains and magnificent seas,

Here lies, multifarious songs, tales, and poetries.

Echoing its rich heritage with many syllables.

 

Bicolano, Ilocano, Bisaya or Cebuano---singing,

Uttering unique words with universal meaning.

Filipino, the Language that binds them all.

A Legacy of Filipino Heroes’ soul.

 

Filipino, a reflection of both humanity and culture.

Binding Islands to Islands and more.

Bayanihan, bringing peace, building connections.

Filipino, a reflection of bountiful culture and realm of literature.
