Keeping in Mind our Mother Tongue


     Wherever an Ilocano has gone, his language has gone with him being enriched by every experience he has encountered.  Iloco is a language of unsurpassed beauty. The existing dictionaries have only scraped the surface of the wealth of words that are available to the skilled orator or the proficient writer. The grammars that have been written have only begun to turn the key which will unlock the intricate complexities of its syntax.
     Iloco is a language with a heritage to be proud of.  Not only is Iloco a language with a great ancestry, it is a language which can have a great future. Its vitality can be measured by the ever expanding volume  of  literature  that  is  being  produced  in  the  language.    Novels, plays, and poetry by Ilocano writers must rank among the greatest in the land.
     I'm very proud that I am an Ilocano, and I also proud and to promise that I will keep in mind our Mother tongue
