Love of Country

Pilipinas o Filipinas? Pilipino o Filipino? Nasa proseso pa ang bansa sa pagpapaunlad ng Filipino bilang pambansang wika at pagpapanatiling buhay sa mga katutubong wika ng mga rehiyon. Pero maganda ring tuklasin paano nakakasabay ang lengguwahe sa panahon. Sa podcast episode na ito, makakasama ng Rappler si Pambansang Alagad ng Sining sa Panitikan na si Virgilio S. Almario – kilala sa sagisag-panulat na Rio Alma sa kanyang mga tula.
