binisaya

bisaya should be the country's national language because there are more native Visayan speakers than there are Tagalogs.

"Filipino" as a language however, was first conceived as a way of unifying the country. It was supposed to be a mix of all the most widely spoken Filipino languages, with Tagalog as a base. However, in practice, it has failed miserably, as do most artificial languages not used for programming computers. Even Ricardo Maria Nolasco, former Chair of the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino has stated that "Filipino" is nothing more than Tagalog as spoken in Metro Manila. Yet, for several generations, it has been taught to all Filipinos in the Philippine school system, regardless of the failure of the language to evolve to its desired, egalitarian state.

Instead, it has become a tool of Tagalog cultural imperialism. Now, this might sound ridiculous for many of you, especially if you live or grew up in the NCR. But many of us, especially those outside of Luzon, very much resent the fact that Tagalog (let's stop pretending that there really is a viable "Filipino" language), has become an identifier of what makes one a Filipino. All the rest of us have been left by the wayside.

Philippine media broadcast and distribute material in Tagalog, with a Manilacentric slant, without much regard for local sensitivities. Even the national anthem is in Tagalog. History lessons, especially topics concerned with resistance to colonial rule, are even centered around Luzon and Manila, with very little attention paid to movements in the Visayas and Mindanao that in many cases were actually more successful.

Even before the struggle against the Spanish was concluded, Tagalog imperialism had already taken root. Andres Bonifacio even refered to the whole country as the Katagalugan, a term many outside the actual Katagalugan found, and still find illogical, not to mention insulting. Just think what would happen if the French started calling the whole of Europe, France. There would be a lot of non-French Europeans that would be understandably upset.
