"Sa Aking Mga Kabata": English Version Tagalog Version

This document is a Tagalog translation of the poem "To My Fellow Children" which encourages love and preservation of the native Tagalog language. It states that [1] when a people truly love their native tongue, they will also pursue liberty, just as birds soar freely in the sky. [2] Language is the final judge of a people and nation, and those who do not love their native language are worse than animals. [3] The Tagalog language, like Latin, English, Spanish, and the angels' tongue, was given to us by God and once had its own alphabet and letters, though these were lost long ago.
