FILIPINO TONGUE: A KALEIDOSCOPE OF CULTURE

by: RIEL S. SALAMPUTAN, LPT

· Volume V Issue I

In archipelagos' golden embrace,

Where sunlit waters kiss the shore,

A language blooms with vibrant grace,

A mirror of our culture's core.

 

Filipino tongue, a kaleidoscope,

A prism of hues, diverse and bright,

Through words, we share our dreams and hope,

In every phrase, a guiding light.

 

A tapestry woven through the years,

Stories of ancestors passed down,

Their wisdom etched in laughter's tears,

In each syllable, a sacred crown.

 

From mountains high to the ocean's breeze,

In bustling streets and quiet nooks,

In songs and dances that appease,

The essence of our culture crooks.

 

It echoes a storied past,

Heroes' valor, battles won,

The struggles faced and storms surpassed,

In Filipino, our tales are spun.

 

With words that dance upon the tongue,

A melody that stirs the soul,

Through joys and sorrows, ever sung,

A heritage that makes us whole.

 

So let us cherish and embrace,

This mirror of our cultural tongue,

A language that can bind and trace,

A nation's heart, forever young.

 

Filipino language, we hold dear,

In every voice, a legacy,

A bridge to hearts both far and near,

A beacon of identity.
