Philippines is blessed with so many languages. It is about time to rekindle the importance of languages which symbolize the unique culture of the country. We may have over 170 languages, where almost all of them belong to Austronesian languages but we are still united with our common and official languages, English and Filipino.

This month is a National Language Month. Previously, President Sergio Osmeña issued Proclamation No. 35 on March 26, 1946 designating the period, March 27 to April 2 of each year as the National Language Week. President Ramon Magsaysay issued Proclamation no. 186 on September 23, 1955 declaring August 13 to 19 of every year as the National Language Week. The end of the week coincided with the birth anniversary of President Manuel Quezon as the Father of our National Language. Former President Corazon Aquino issued Proclamation No. 19 reiterating the proclamation of the National Language Week on August 13 to 19 of every year. Former President Fidel V. Ramos decided to issue Proclamation No. 1041 on January 15, 1997 to give importance to our national language where he declared the whole month of August of every year as our National Language Month.
