Radiocast from Malacañang Palace, Manila, on Rizal Day, December 30, 1937]

My Fellow-Citizens:

It affords me an indescribable satisfaction to be able to announce to you that on this the 41st anniversary of the
martyrdom of the founder and greatest exponent of Philippine nationalism, I had the privilege of issuing, in pursuance of
the mandate of the Constitution and of existing law, an Executive Order designating one of the native languages as the
basis for the national language of the Filipino people.

For over three hundred years that Spain exercised sovereignty over the Philippines, Spanish was the official language;
nevertheless, when the United States took possession and control of these Islands, Spanish had not become the
common language of our people. With the establishment of the American régime, English became the official language
of our country; but despite the fact that English has been taught in all our public schools for more than a generation, it
has not become the language of our people. Today there is not one language that is spoken and understood by all the
Filipinos, nor even by a majority of them, which simply proves that while the teaching of a foreign language may be
imposed upon a people, it can never replace the native tongue as a medium of national expression among the common
masses. This is because, as Rizal asserted, the national thought takes its roots in a common language which develops and
grows with the progress of the nation. We may borrow for a time the language of other peoples, but we cannot truly
possess a national language except through the adoption, development and use of one of our own.

There was a time when it seemed that it would be impossible for the Filipinos to agree that one of the native
languages be chosen as the national language, but at last we have all realized that if we are willing to accept a foreign
language as the official language of the Philippines, with more reason we should accept one of our own languages as the
national language of our common country. Without giving undue importance to the role that a common language plays
in the life of a people, we may point to the fact that in the Orient the one nation which has made the greatest progress,
and which has won a high place in the family of nations, is the only nation that has one common language—Japan. And
every other nation which has attained the highest state of culture, solidarity and power, both on the American continent
and in Europe, and even in Africa, is a nation that possesses a common national language.

Today, with the adoption of Tagalog as the basis for the national language of the Philippines, we have accomplished
one of the most cherished dreams of Rizal.

In no better way could we have honored his sacred memory on this anniversary of his immolation to the cause of our
free nationhood.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

TASK 3. Statements below are taken from President Obama’s address. Identify which among the statements contain
factual information or subjective content. Write F for factual and S for subjective.

1. There were no winners in this government shutdown.

2. At a time when our economy needs more growth and more jobs, the manufactured crises of these last few weeks
actually harmed jobs and growth.

3. The Senate has already passed a bill with strong bipartisan support.

4. First, we should sit down and pursue a balanced approach to a responsible budget, one that grows our economy
faster and shrinks our long-term deficits further.

5. Second, we should finish the job of fixing our broken immigration system. There’s already a broad coalition across
America that’s behind this effort, from business leaders to faith leaders to law enforcement. It would grow our
economy.
