Isinulat ni Hershyne Ferrer

Pitong buwan na ang lumipas mula nang unang sumilip ang taong ito sa atin.
Pitong buwang may iniwang bakas sa ating mga palad—
Mga bakas ng pagpupunyagi, pangungulila, at tahimik na pakikipagsapalaran.

Sa pag-ikot ng mga buwan, natuto tayong magsakripisyo.
May mga hapag na tayo ang huling sumandok upang paunahin ang iba.
May mga gabing pinili nating ikubli ang sariling pagod, para hindi na madagdagan pa ang bigat na pasan ng ating mga mahal sa buhay.
At may mga pangarap na pansamantalang isinilid sa iisang kuwarto at saradong lagusan.
Umaasang darating din ang araw na bubuksan ulit ang pintuan, upang maipagpatuloy ang minsanang itinagong adhikain.

Hindi naging madali ang paglalakbay.
May mga umagang sinalubong tayo ng pag-aalala,
at may mga gabing ang tanging kausap natin ay ang katahimikan.
Ngunit tulad ng ilog na patuloy na umaagos sa kabila ng mga batong humahadlang sa kaniyang daan— nagpatuloy ka.
Nasaktan, napagod, ngunit ang nakabibighani'y 'di tayo tuluyang sumuko.

At ngayon, narito tayo sa bukana ng Agosto.
Isa na namang pahina ang bubuksan ng ating sariling libro,
at isa na namang pagkakataon upang pulutin ang mga pag-asang minsang nalaglag sa ating mga palad.
Sapagkat, sa bawat unos na ating nalampasan,
unti-unti ring hinubog ang tibay, na ngayon ay ating nagiging sandigan.

Nawa'y dalhin ng Agosto ang pag-angat mula sa mga pangambang matagal nating kinimkim,
ang pag-alwan ng mga pasaning tahimik nating dala-dala
at ang paglapit ng mga adhikaing matiyaga nating hinabol sa gitna ng pagod at pagdududa.
Nawa'y maging buwan ito ng mga panibagong simula,
ng mga biyayang darating— hindi bilang kapalit ng paghihirap, kundi bilang bunga ng ating katatagan at pananatili.

Maligayang pagdating, Agosto.
Kung ang mga nakaraang buwan ay nagturo sa'min kung paano magtiis,
nawa'y ikaw naman ang magpaalala kung bakit kami patuloy na lumalaban.
At sa bawat paglipas ng araw, nawa'y matagpuan natin na hindi lamang ang kasaganaan,
kundi ang katiyakang may liwanag na naghihintay, sa dulo ng bawat bukang-liwayway.

Ngayong Agosto, sama-sama nating ipagdiwang ang Buwan ng Wika na nag-uugnay at sumasalamin sa pagkakakilanlan ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino.

Alinsunod sa Proklamasyon Blg. 1041, na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos noong Hulyo 15, 1997, itinakda ang taunang Agosto 1-31 bilang Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa. Ito ay para mas pagtibayain, pagyamanin at pahalagahan ang Wikang Filipino habang ginugunita ang kapanganakan ni Manuel L. Quezon, ang kinikilalang Ama ng Wikang Pambansa.

Bilang pakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika, ang PCC Dimensions, ay maglalathala ng mga akdang nakasulat gamit ang Wikang Filipino— abangan, mahalin at mas lalo pang pahalagahan, ang wika na hindi lamang salita na binibigkas ng bibig, kundi isinasapuso ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino.

Mabuhay ang Wikang Filipino!
Para sa Pilipino.
Para sa Bayan.
Para sa Kasaysayan.
Para sa Susunod na Henerasyon.
