Philippines is one of the most visited countries in the world. Many foreigners are attracted to visit our country not only because of its beautiful scenery, but also because of the hospitality and the flexibility of the Filipinos in communicating with them. Because of globalization, our language, cultures, and traditions became very diverse and we unknowingly forgot our natural/pure Filipino language while we use the modern and informal ones.
