Forgive me but I want to post my topic here in tagalog..I don't care if myLot punished me..
Nang tayo'y mga bata pa lagi tayong tinatanong
kung ano ang gusto natin paglaki..ang iba gusto
maging engineer (ako un!), sundalo, doktor, nars,
guro, artista (hindi ako un!) at kung ano-ano
pa..tapos tinatanong tayo kung bakit, sasabihin
natin:
"gusto ko maging sundalo kasi gusto kong
makatulong sa ating bansa, etc.."
Ngaun po iba na ang nangyayari at sinasabi.
Lagi akong nanonood ng television, especially
noontime shows..and everytime na my tinatanong
ung host na ano ba gusto m? sasabihin nman ng
contestant, gusto ko maging ganito kasi gusto
ko magabroad. Wow, ito ba talaga kaagad yung nasa
isip natin pag nakatapos na tayo? Hindi ko po
nilalahat.
Wala po akong tutol dito kasi ako po mismo ay may
balak din magabroad, my point here is sana ilagay
natin sa utak natin na pumipili tayo nang propesyon
dahil sa mahal natin ito hindi dahil sa yayaman
tayo dito..
Let us serve our country first!
Yan lamang po!
Anyone would like to share their opinion? You're
very much welcome..
Mike, MCP

Well...do what you want. But, in my opinion it's kinda rude. I may be opening a can of worms here but if he language for this forum is English and you can speak (or type) english, then you should...
I equate speaking a language that someone doesn't understand when your in a room with people and you can speak their language to whispering in someones ear and telling secrets.
I'm sure that isn't your intention, but that is what comes to my mind. It's something that I witness frequently, and I've always thought it was rude.
I've even seen some people do it maliciously.
I know it's not your topic, and I rarely do this without being asked, but I had to put in my 2 cents.
You just invited me as a friend and I accepted. Are you going to delete me now? ;-) I hope not.

I understand but believe me it's not what you're thinkin'. I will not make a post here in my own native language containing any rude statements just to hurt someone. I'm proud of my own native language and will never be shy to use it.
This post is made to convince my fellow filipinos to be patriotic to our country.
Nothing personal...

you can't serve your country when you can't even help your family. Charity starts at home, not country. hehehe
