ADAPTING TO DIVERSE SCIENCE CULTURE FOR DEVELOPMENT

Right at your home, your television, cellphone/telephone and other appliances do great things for you. Do you realize what these things are?

Have you heard about heart transplant? Do you know of new medicines that can control communicable diseases?

These things became possible because of the work of many scientists. They are the persons who are specialist in doing research and investigation using their skills or talents.

These technologies makes our work easier, they are very helpful to us. Creating too much of these can lead us to development but there is a possibility that it can kill us too. We all know that too much is dangerous so we must minimize our work.

Always remember that different science cultures must adapt for the development of our environment.

BUWAN NG WIKA

Every August, we celebrate our "Buwan ng Wika,"and the theme for this month is "Wikang Filipino Mula Baler Hanggang Buong Bansa".

We have several dialects here in the Philippines, some of them are Iloco, Waray, Bisaya, Bicolano, Pangasinense and others. We have also our National Language and that is Filipino.

We must learn how to speak in Filipino so that we can easily understand one another. All Filipinos from Baler up to the last island of the Philippines have better and easier communication because we have our National Language. Our former President Manuel L. Quezon was the one who declared Filipino as our "Wikang Pambansa".

Our National Language also makes other people know our nationality. There are so many Filipinos who are working in abroad and because they are in the other country,they must use other dialects in speaking. There is a possibility that they will forget their own Language. If we will go there and accidentally they heard us talking using the Filipino Language, they will easily identify that we came from the Philippines.

Filipino Language is the key of our national identity.
