Teddy Boy Locsin on using tagalog on the Presidential Debate

[111prez]

Tagalog ba o Pilipino?

Ang tinuturo sa mga paaralan ay Pilipino.

Tagalog is only a dialect like Cebuano o Ilonggo o Waray o Ilocano o Bicolano

Si Teddy Boy Locsin ba talaga yung nag post nun? seems highly unlikely that it was him unless he was being sarcastic or was not sober at that time.....

It's his account so ...

It's a weird thing to tweet.

He's correct, in a way... Tagalog is a slippery language, and lacks precision for debates.

BUT... it's a poetic language, and ripe for political speech... if you don't use it to pander to the audience, well... you're an idiot.

Even PNoy recognizes the necessity of speaking in Tagalog to reach his audience.

^It is for the same reason you explain what storm surge is in the local language if you want them to evacuate.

[Walter]

Maybe his intent was towards Poe and Roxas but still strange for him to write it that way.
