Salaysay ed Salitan Pangasinan:
"The fruits of Philippine bilingual policy, with its emphasis upon English language skills, have made the Philippines into a great 'export country' of mainly manual and semi-skilled labour and semi-professionals, providing much needed sources of funds through the remittances which migrant workers send home to their families (Alburo, 1993). The essential tension in the Philippine bilingual policy rests in its neglect of the students' home languages and their inadequate competence in English, especially in the rural areas, on the one hand, and the continued use of English and Filipino as the only languages of education, on the other. The economic loss to the country through so many rural youth dropping out of school before they reach school leaving age, and the linguistic deficiencies of those who succeed in completing only part of their school education, represents a loss to the social and economic well-being of the country." -- J. J. SMOLICZ, et al. (ASSIMILATION OR PLURALISM? CHANGING POLICIES FOR MINORITY LANGUAGES EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA AND THE PHILIPPINES)

A country that shows little or no interest in its own culture and cultural creators is a country full of turncoats, traitors and Fifth Columnists. At about the time of Kenya's independence struggle, Frantz Fanon, amongst others, reminded Africans of the need for a cultural spearhead: A proudly African literature that could reright wrongs.
