    Jose Rizal wrote the poem "To My Fellow Children" to encourage Filipino youth to take pride in their national language and culture. He urged them to embrace their native language as a reflection of their identity, and argued that anyone who does not cherish their mother tongue is lacking something essential. While technology and globalization have led some Filipinos to forget their national language, the poem's message remains relevant today - it reminds Filipinos to continue using and preserving their native language while also learning other languages. Loving one's mother tongue is a reflection of loving one's country and roots.

    1.

    Use of mother tongue or the native language in communicating to show who really, we are

    2. To My Fellow Children was written by Jose Rizal to inspire the Filipino Youths to use their
    Godly given talent and be the best they can be. He also wrote it to encourage Filipino youths to
    be proud of being a Filipino by using their own mother tongue or native language in
    communicating or speaking which is evident on the line whoever knows not how to love his
    native tongue is worse than any beast or evil smelling fish.

    3. Yes, the message of this poem is still applicable in today’s generation, because as we are
    connected to the other races, due to technology, most of us forget to use our own national
    language. When a Filipino migrates to any country, some of them forget already how to use our
    national language. Some children due to videos they watched, they become English speaking.
    That’s is why, the poem is a reminder for us that it is okay for us to learn other languages but we
    should never forget that our national language Filipino is at par with other prevailing languages
    around the world.

    4. Jose wrote poetry to motivate people to love their native language. He urged them to cherish
    their language because it reflected their identity. . For a nation without independence, people
    must learn to fight for themselves.

    Having a unified mother tongue reflects the unity and strength of a nation. More specifically, the
    poem's message is:
    Anyone who loves their native language loves freedom. Language is a human measure. The line
    "Language is the final judge and mediator of the people of the land" argues that language is the
    judge that determines a person's love for his or her country. How we use and respect it
    determines our love for our country. Native language is one of the most important characteristics
    of a nation. Therefore, using it means that we value our country. Using your mother tongue more
    than any other language means that you value your mother tongue the most. I could have spoken
    in other dialects, but I still spoke in my mother tongue. It's like choosing from our clothes. We
    often use the shirt we like best and sparingly use the less valuable shirt.

    Using Filipino also means that you know more about this language than any other. This means
    that the duration of learning the native language has increased. What made us the most exposed
    to it and able to discover more of it.

    Language is a really good measure of a person's love for their country. The way citizens speak
    their mother tongue shows their relationship to their country. In other words, language is the
    ultimate judge of the people of a country. It never deceives and always reveals the truth.
