a sense of nationalism

cherigucchi @cherigucchi (15932) • Philippines 14 Apr 13

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 17 Apr 12

Do you believe that if we all speak our national language, more than English and other foreign languages, our country will be more progressive? Nationalism is a big factor of a country's progress. What better way to express our...
