Task 3. Dig Deeper. Read more about Philippine English (PE) and supply
information on the Following:
1. Relate the need for Philippine English to societal and community
needs. Do you think it is helpful for Filipinos to continué speaking and
using Philippine English?

Yes, it is helpful for Filipinos to continue speaking and using English because,
technically, we have been using and being exposed to it since day one, so it’s
not very new to us. Philippine English is certainly convenient to us Filipinos due
to the fact that we often hear it and mostly use it. Using Philippine English is an
effective way to communicate and make the conversation smooth and natural.
Therefore, if we stop speaking and using Philippine English, it’s like losing our
tongue, and freedom of speech is nowhere to be seen in the picture.
Considering that Philippine English is our second official language.

2. Is Philippine English “wronging” English? Explain your answer.

Philippine English is not “wronging” English because, just like American English,
British English, and every other Englishes in the world, it serves its purpose(s)
for everyone and it’s all part of the same story. And by means of purposes, I
mean it is commonly used by everyone, whether personal or social media, and
it can be both formal and informal. Philippine English is not wrong because it
still follows American English spelling and grammar rules. And even if it’s wrong,
which is not Philippine English, is legitimate and acceptable.

Application

Read more about non-human communication and other modern researches concerning
animal language and communication. Then summarize your insights.

If someone asked you what separates humans from other animals, one of the first things that
would probably come to mind is language. Language is so fundamental to human life that it’s
hard to imagine what life would be like without it. In fact, the original term for language referred
to it as part of the body—language is derived from the Latin word lingua, meaning tongue.
Barnett highlights the inseparability of language from man when he says, “Verbal communication
is a condition of the existence of human society.”

But at the same time, other animals also communicate. Animal languages are forms of non-
human animal communication that show similarities to human language. Animals communicate
through a variety of signs, such as sounds or movements. Signing among animals may be
considered complex enough to be a form of language if the inventory of signs is large. Non-human
communication is the way anything non-human communicates without the use of words. For
example, your cat may let you know when its hungry, ants use pheromones and sound to indicate
social status and distress, bees dance to tell one another where to find honey, and chimpanzees
can learn sign language.

Good day, Ma’am Sir,

I am Alyssa Esgana, a first year college student taking up a Bachelor of Secondary

Education Major in English at Central Bicol State University of Agriculture. I have heard
about the scholarship grants for college students and, as a college student who's
financially unstable, I am more than happy to assist myself to accomplish all the
requirements to be submitted.

As one of the applicants, I'm looking forward to being one out of ten fortunate college
students to benefit from your said program, but in order for that to happen, I would like
to know more about the other specific and important details for applying for a
scholarship, aside from what's stated in the announcement. Like, what exactly are you
looking for as a scholar? When will the application begin and end? Where or how are
we going to submit our applications? And if I were chosen, do I need to submit other
requirements and what are they? How about the rules and conditions I need to follow
and if I break them, what would happen?

I would be grateful if you let me know about the details I am requesting about the.
scholarship grants. You can contact me via email: alyssaesgana@gmail.com or you can
message me on my Facebook account. Alyssa Esgana. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Alyssa Esgana
