Jinggoy Estrada urges senators to speak Filipino during National Language Month

Senator Jinggoy Estrada on Monday encouraged his colleagues to speak in Filipino during plenary sessions in celebration of National Language Month this August.

“Bilang pakikiisasa paggunita ng mahalagang pagdiriwang na ito, hinihikayat ko po ang ating mga kagalang-galang na kasamahan sa Senado na gamitin ang wikang Pambansa sa ating mga talakayan at diskurso dito sa Senado sa buong buwan ng Agosto,” Ejercito said in a manifestation.

“Naniniwala po ako na ang munting hakbang ng bulwagang ito ay magkakaroon ng malaking ambag upang higit na mapalapit ang kapulungan sa ating mga kababayan at sa taumbayan na ating pinaglilingkuran,” he added.

Estrada believes using the national language will attract the public to hear, understand, and engage in the debates regarding the measures they are advocating.

“Inaaanyayahan ko po ang ating mga butihing kasamahan at kapwa mambabatas na makiisa sa pagdiriwang naito bilang pagpapakita ng ating pagtangkilik, pagpapahalaga at pagmamahal sa ating wikang pambansa na malaking bahagi ng ating pagkakakilanlan bilang mga Pilipino,” he said.

In 1997, late former President Fidel V. Ramos issued Proclamation 1041 declaring August “Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa.”

Estrada also noted that on August 19, it will be the 145th birth anniversary of late former President Manuel Luis Quezon, known as the “Ama ng Wikang Pambansa.” — DVM, GMA Integrated News
