(7/13/2016 5:18:00 PM)I am a Canadian English teacher, and I'd love to use this poem for my classes, as I have a lot of Filipino students. I would like to get a copy of this in Tagalog, but I can't find it online. Would anyone be willing to translate it for me? I'd love to use that version first, so that my English-only students can see how hard it is to study a language that is not your Mother tongue. I want them to understand that it's the language barrier, not a lack of intelligence, that makes English so hard for ESL students.
I am a Filipino, a proud one. And you, I suppose, are one too. I just can’t think why we, Filipinos are not proud of our nationality, our country. Why we, choose other products than ours, because in our mind things made locally are ‘CHEAP’ which is totally not true, we are makers of world class items. We should be proud of our country.
