Description

Welcome to one of the world's most successful forums in the internet. It is the "home court" of DILA members based in the Philippines, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, Dubai and other countries. DILA, which stands for Defenders of Indigenous Languages of the Archipelago, is a union among patriotic Pangasinenses, Pampanguenos, Bicolanos, Warays, Karay-as, Ilongos, Cebuanos, Ilocanos, and other ethno-linguistic groups in the Philippines who feel aggrieved by the language policy of their country, and whose passion in life centers around promoting their dear languages and saving them from extinction. It unites them in their fight against any possible ethnic cleansing and in their struggle for language equality. Their activities include studying their languages and doing language translations, interpretations and comparisons in a scholarly way. They work for the intellectualization of their languages and aim to have them be made mediums of instruction and regular subjects in the school curriculum. Love and pride for their languages is what has motivated them into forging this grand alliance.

All members of minority groups, as well as exceptionally sympathetic Tagalogs, are strongly encouraged to join us and participate in our intellectual discussions. We are here to destroy the growing Tagalista mentality that is marginalizing all native languages to no end. Our battle cry is: "Bikol for Camarines Sur, Capampangan for Pampanga, Cebuano for Cebu, Hiligaynon for Iloilo, Ilocano for Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan for Pangasinan and Waray for Samar!" "United, we shall overcome!"

Note: The acceptance of applications for membership in this forum depends upon the applicants' reasons for joining. So, please state your reasons on why you may want to be in this forum. Also give your name, address, language and age.
