If he doesn't want to eat, I don't care anymore. After a while he spoke, "Saan mo gustong pumunta?” (Where do you want to go?) "Can you speak Tagalog? I feel like I'm in the 18th century and you'll just speak English to me?" I said, annoyed. (Baka gusto mong magtagalog? Feel na feel kong para akong nasa 18th century tapos i-english-in mo lang ako?) He chuckled. “Kung ganoon ay saan mo ninanais pumunta, binibini? Maaari ko bang malaman?” (Where do you wish to go, my lady? May I know?) He even bowed in front of me which made me laugh.

I was rather amused by his sentences. Just a few months ago, we had started discussing more intellectual topics whenever we were together. Sometimes, he booked my services just so I could talk to him in English. Since English is the Philippines’ second language, his business associates spoke to him in that language, and he admitted he couldn’t always keep up. Other times, I taught him my mother tongue, Bisaya, while he attempted to teach me Mandarin.

After giving out the papers, Marissa then proceeded to her next lesson. “Students, I know we encourage you to learn the English language as it is widely spoken internationally. But don’t forget your mother tongue. Remember what Dr. Jose Rizal said, ‘he who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.’..” This quote reminded Dawn of what her own mother used to say to her back then. That even if she was born and grew up in the United States, that she should still remember to speak the language that is part of her. For Dawn, it was not that she had to learn the language because her mother was a Filipino but because she could see the benefits of learning more languages

Grew up in a small town, And when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare out my window, Dreaming of what could be, And if I'd end up happy, I would pray... I feel like I was being mocked by Spotify so turned my phone off to savor my meal peacefully. "Jess," I called. "Yes, ma'am? Do you need anything?" She asked. "You're a Filipina, right?" I asked. She smiled. "Yes, ma'am." I gestured for her to come closer. I whispered to her ear. "Can you teach me some curse words?" I asked.

he turned it into “Salubong sa Bagong Kabanata” Mulat ang siyang diwa ng bawat isa, Lahat ay may bakas ng ngiti sa mukha, Kapaligiran ay busog sa musika, Bata, matanda, handang-handa na sila, Sa pagsalubong sa bagong kabanata, Tuwa’t galak, bagong taon, parating na. I couldn’t help but to smile as I read the first stanza. I just know that he is good at creating Tagalog poems too. He is always using English as his medium.

“‘The dragon,’ I blurted out. ‘I know all about it. We used to sing about it as kids.’ And I sang the words for him.” In Kate’s room, her ma also sang the Ilonggo song in her wavering voice. The song was slow and sort of pleading. It reminded Kate of her lullabies when she was a kid: foreign but soothing. | “Ang bulan namon sang una, sang una Guin-kaon sang Bakunawa Malo-oy ka man, i-uli, i-uli Korona sang amon hari.” | “What does it mean, ma?” Kate asked because she spoke only Filipino and English, unlike some of her classmates who had a hometown dialect.

Good thing that I studied tagalog language, my accent will do. “For all of our Filipino audiences here, this song is dedicated to you.” I smiled sweetly as the crowd went wild once again. (This song "Sila" is translated from Filipino to English) He also lost his appetite for a long time Watching the passerby He was always stubborn Eager to feel something 'You are not new in sight You are secretly in my tender embrace In every hiding The expression of emotion is uncontrollable There is no answer to the question Why you matter There is no one like you

Yes, may fireplace si Kamahalan kahit wala namang winter sa Pilipinas at milya-milya ang layo ng Manila sa Bagiuo. After four knocks which is a signal to Jacques and V that I'm the one behind the doors,it opened. Seryosong mukha ni V ang bumati sa 'kin. Ewan ko ba dito pero never pa itong ngumiti sa 'kin.Madalang din sa patak ng ulan kung magsalita. Muntik ko na ngang pagkamalang pipi ang isang 'to noong una. I sighed, ba't ba ang suplado ng mga hot na guys?

I said. I then turned to my aunt and continued with my questioning, “I tell you Auntie, I felt like whoever said that was right next to me while I was sweeping. It's as if, he was in between the two of us.” Take note, the words “Tao po” is a common phrase in the Philippines which is a kind of greeting. Nowadays, it’s used to ask if there’s someone in the house, but back then, it was used to let the people in the house know that the visitor that was knocking at the door is actually a human (tao).and not a ghost or fay entity.

Bumaling din ako rito ngunit napayuko rin sa kahihiyan. He was mostly speaking English. It's not that I don't understand him. My parents used to talk to me in English, lalo na si Papa na madalas pang nahahalo ang English sa Tagalog. Nahihirapan nga si Papa na magsalita ng Tagalog at mas marami ang Ingles na sinasabi. I've grown enough to understand it and get used to speaking with them. But I can never brought myself to speak to other people. The fear I had from that incident was still here that I felt like when I open my eyes and use my voice, I scream would break free.
